BATTERY  PARK.

&  Revenue  Barge  Office,  but  is  now  used  for  the  reception  of  immigrants. 
The  scene  here  is  often  picturesque,  with  the  throngs  of  newcomers,  quaint 
of  dress  and  unfamiliar  in  their  ways. 

Near  the  high  flagstaff  in  the  Park  a  tablet  marks  the  spot  where  stood 
the  famous  Revolutionary  liberty  pole.  When  the  British  evacuated  the 
city  in  1783  they  left  their  flag  flying  from  this  pole,  which  they  had 
greased  to  prevent  climbing  it.  But  an  American  soldier.  David  Van  Ars- 
dale,  achieved  the  feat,  climbed  the  pole,  tore  down  the  British  banner  and 


CASTLE  WILLIAMS. 


raised  the  American  flag  in  its  place.  From  that  time  to  th:s,  annually  at 
dawn  of  Evacuation  Day,  November  25,  some  descendant  of  Van  Ars- 
aale  has  hoisted  the  colors  here  on  the  Battery  staff. 

The  Battery  took  its  name  from  a  battery  which  was  erected  here  in  1693 
in  anticipation  of  the  coming  of  a  French  fleet,  Great  Britain  and  France 
being  then  at  war.  The  Park  was  a  favorite  promenade  in  Colonial  days. 
At  that  period  and  long  afterward  the  vicinity  was  the  center  of  the  wealth 
and  fashion  of  New  York;  and  stately  homes  fronted  the  Park  on  the 
north.  One  of  these  old  houses  yet  remains,  No.  7  State  street,  now  the 
Mission  of  Our  Lady  of  the  Rosary,  for  immigrant  girls. 

Just  north  of  the  Battery,  at  the  beginning  of  Broadway,  is  Bowling 
Green.  East  of  the  Battery,  at  the  terminus  of  the  elevated  roads,  is  the 
South  Ferry,  whence  boats  ply  to  Brooklyn  and  Staten  Island.  It  was 
between  the  Battery  and  Staten  Island  that  young  Cornelius  Vanderbilt 
(afterward  the  Commodore)  sailed  and  rowed  his  ferry  boat  "Dread." 
West  of  the  Battery  at  Pier  1,  North  River,  are  the  Coney  Island  boats. 

Governor's  Island,  which  lies  a  thousand  yards  off  the  Battery,  is  Gov- 
ernment property,  and  is  the  headquarters  of  the  Military  Department  of 
the  Atlantic.  Its  trees  and  lawn  add  to  the  attractiveness  of  the  harbor. 
The  sunset  gun  is  fired  from  Castle  Williams.  Other  fortifications  are  the 
antiquated  Fort  Columbus,  in  the  center  of  the  island,  and  the  South 
Battery.  There  are  officers'  quarters,  occupied  by  the  Commanding  Gen- 
eral and  his  staff,  parade  grounds,  prison  for  military  prisoners,  ordnance 
stores  and  other  usual  features  of  a  military  establishment.  Plans  are 
"der  way  to  make  Governor's  Island  the  chief  military  post  of  the  country. 


Cbe  Statue  of  Obeny. 


r 


The  Statue  of  Liberty  Enlightening  the  World  is  on  Bedloe's  Island, 
in  the  Upper  Bay,  \\\  miles  from  the  Battery.  It  is  reached  by  steam- 
boat, which  leaves  the  Battery  hourly,  on  the  hour,  and  returns  on  the  half- 
hour,  from  9  A.  M.  to  5  P.  M.  One  may  obtain  a  satisfactory  view  of  the 
exterior  and  return  on  the  same  boat,  time  from  Battery  and  return  three- 
quarters  of  an  hour;  if  the  ascent  of  the  Statue  is  to  be  made,  allow  an 
hour  and  three-quarters. 

The  statue  is  the  work  of  the  eminent  French  sculptor.  Auguste  Bar-| 
tholdi.  who  in  1865  conceived  the  idea  of  a  fitting  memorial  to  be  given  by  I 
the  French  people  to  the  United  States  in  commemoration  of  the  long-i 
established  good  will  between  the  two  nations.  Coming  to  America  uporj 
this  mission,  Bartholdi  was  impressed  by  the  eagerness  with  which  thtj 
emigrants  crowded  to  the  rail  to  gaze  upon  the  shores  as  the  ship  came  upj 
the  bay.  and  his  artist's  eye  recognized  in  Bedloe's  Island  the  ideal  site  fon 
the  projected  statue.  Here,  at  the  threshold  of  America,  Liberty  should 
meet  the  expectant  gaze  of  the  newcomers,  and  uplift  her  lighted  torch 
before  them  as  an  emblem  of  freedom  and  opportunity  in  the  new  world. 
The  situation  was  well  chosen.  The  colossal  figure  is  an  imposing  object 
as  seen  not  only  from  steamships  coming  up  the  harbor,  but  from  ferryboat 
and  bridge  and  rivers,  and  the  encircling  cities  and  hills  and  plains  of 
Xew  York  and  New  Jersey. 

The  statue  is  justly  admired  for  its  majestic  proportions  and  the  benevo- 
lent calm  of  the  countenance.  It  is  said  that  Bartholdi  modeled  the  figure 
from  his  mother.  The  tablet  bears  the  date,  "July  4-  1776."  The  statue 
consists  of  a  shell  of  repousse  copper  (sheets  of  copper  hammered  into 
shape),  riveted  together  and  supported  by  an  interior  skeleton  of  iron, 
which  was  designed  by  the  French  engineer.  Eiffel,  who  built  the  Eiffel 
Tower.  Provision  is  made  for  the  expansion  and  contraction  caused  by 
variations  of  heat  and  cold :  and  an  asbestos  packing  is  employed  to  insu- 
late the  copper  from  the  iron  and  prevent  the  corrosion  which  would  other- 
wise be  caused  by  the  action  of  electricity  induced  by  the  salt  air.  Holding 
her  flaming  torch  305  feet  in  air.  Liberty  is  the  greatest  colossus  in  the 
world,  and  the  pedestal  rests  securely  upon  a  foundation  which  is  a 
monolith  of  concrete  reputed  to  be  the  largest  artificial  single  stone  in 
existence.    The  dimensions  are:

Cbe  Produce  exchange 


The  Produce  Exchange,  on  Whitehall  street  (near  the  lower  end  of 
Broadwayj.  occupies  a  building  which  is  one  of  the  notable  architectural 
features  of  New  York.  The  exterior  is  of  brick  and  terra-coua.  of  rich 
red  tones;  the  decorations  are  the  Arms  of  the  States,  the  prows  of  ships 
and  the  heads  of  domestic  cattle.  The  structure  is  of  immense  size. 
300  x  150  feet,  and  116  feet  in  height,  with  a  square  tower  rising  225  feet 
from  the  pavement.  The  foundation  rests  upon  15.037  New  England 
spruce  and  pine  piles  driven  down  to  bedrock  and  cut  off  below  the  level 
of  tide  water.  There  are  2.000  windows,  nearly  1.000  doors  and  7'S  acres 
of  floor  space.  The  elevators  carry  more  than  27.000  passengers  in  a  day. 
The  clock  face  on  the  tower  is  12  feet  across.  The  flag  is  50  x  20  feet. 
The  cost  of  ground  and  building  was  $3,178,645. 

The  elevators  convey  visitors  to  the  Visitors'  Gallery  overlooking  the 
Exchange  Room,  an  apartment  220  x  144  feet,  and  60  feet  in  height  to 
the  peak  of  the  skylight.  The  floor  space  is,  next  to  that  of  the  Madison 
Square  Garden,  the  largest  in  the  city.  It  affords  ample  room  for  the 
3.000  members,  and  could  accommodate  as  many  more. 

The  business  done  here  is  the  wholesale  buying  and  selling  of  produce. 
Grain,  flour,  lard,  provisions,  petroleum,  oil,  naval  stores,  seeds,  butter, 
cheese,  hops,  hay  and  straw  are  the  principa-  articles  dealt  in.  The  volume 
of  business  exceeds  a  billion  dollars  a  year.  The  long  tables  are  for  the 
di-play  of  samples,  upon  which  mam-  of  the  transactions  are  based:  and  in 
the  corner  is  the  oval  "Wheat  Pit."  where  wheat  is  bought  and  sold.  Bul- 
letins announce  the  prices  current  in  other  trade  centers,  and  give  other 
mfoiHtatioiL  "  While  on  the  floor  a  buyer  may  receive  from  Europe  a  cable 
order  for  a  cargo  of  grain,  flour  or  provisions,  may  purchase  what  is 
ordered,  charter  a  vessel  for  shipment,  engage  an  elevator  to  load  the 
grain,  or  a  lighter  to  move  provisions  or  flour,  effect  insurance,  sell  ex- 
change, cable  back  the  fact  of  his  purchases,  and  write  and  mail  his  letters." 

The  membership  is  limited  to  3.000.  and  is  full.  The  initiation  fee  is 
$2  500.  An  arbitration  committee  of  five  members  settles  disputes  between 
member*  without  recourse  to  the  law  courts. 

The  Produce  Exchange  tower  affords  the  finest  obtainable  view  of  the 
harbor  and  surrounding  shores.  The  requisite  pass  may  be  had  on  request 
of  the  superintendent  of  the  building.   The  Exchange  is  open  from  9  to  4. 

Eraunxes'  Tavern*,  on  the  southeast  corner  of  Broad  and  Pearl  streets, 
contains  on  the  second  floor  the  famous  "long  room."  in  which  General 
Washington  took  affecting  leave  of  his  officers  and  aides  Dec.  4,  1783. 
before  proceeding  to  Congress  to  surrender  his  commission.  The  Tavern 
was  built  in  1700.  It  was  opened  as  a  tavern  by  Samuel  Fraunces  in 
1762.  The  building  has  been  restored  by  the  Sons  of  the  Revolution. 
The  first  floor  is  still  a  tavern;  the  second  floor  contains  a  display  of 
historical  relics,  opened  Dec.  4,  1007. 


Che  Customs  Rouse 


In  the  new  Custom  House,  fronting  on  Bowling  Green,  New  York 
possesses  the  largest  and  most  beautiful  custom  house  in  the  world.  The 
building  was  designed  by  Cass  Gilbert ;  it  is  of  Maine  granite,  seven  stories 
in  height,  and  cost  $4,500,000.  It  is  embellished  with  a  wealth  of  ex- 
terior decoration,  the  motives  of  which  are  found  in  the  world  wide 
commerce  of  the  United  States,  of  which  seventy-five  per  cent,  enters 
through  the  port  of  New  York.  Dolphin  masks,  rudders,  tridents,  the 
caduceus  of  Mercury,  the  winged  wheel,  the  conventionalized  wave  and 
other  suggestions  are  of  the  sea  and  ships  and  transportation.  A  series 
of  forty-four  Corinthian  columns  surrounding  the  building  are  crowned 
with  capitals  from  which  look  out  the  head  of  Mercury,  ancient  god  of 
commerce ;  and  in  the  keystones  of  the  window  arches  are  carved  heads 
typical  of  the  eight  types  of  mankind — the  Caucasian,  with  accessory  of 
oak  branches ;  Hindu,  lotus  leaves ;  Latin  and  Celt,  grapes ;  Mongol, 
poppy ;  Eskimo,  fur  hood ;  coureur  de  bois,  pine  cones ;  African. 

Extending  across  the  sixth  floor  of  the  Bowling  Green  facade  is  a 
series  of  twelve  statues  carved  from  Tennessee  marble.  The  figures  are 
of  heroic  size  and  represent  twelve  sea-faring  powers,  ancient  and  modern, 
which  have  had  part  in  the  commerce  of  the  globe.  The  subjects  from 
left  to  right  are : 

Greece  (by  F.  E.  El  well)  is  typified  by  Pallas-Athene,  with  cuirass  and 

shield. 

Rome  (by  F.  E.  Elwell)  is  a  soldier  of  the  Empire,  bearing  the  mace, 
and  crushing  to  his  knees  a  barbarian  captive. 

Phoenicia  (by  F.  M.  Ruckstuhl)  with  ancient  oared  galley. 

Gznca  (by  Augustus  Lukeman)  is  represented  by  Columbus ;  the  Great 
Discoverer  is  chd  in  armor,  with  two-handed  sword,  and  at  his  feet 
crouches  an  open-jawed  dragon,  typifying  the  triumph  of  Columbus  over 
ignorance,  superstition  and  bigotry. 

Venice  (by  F.  M.  L.  Tonetti)  is  represented  by  the  Doge  Mariano 
Falieri,  in  magnificently  embroidered  robe,  and  holding  the  prow  of  a 
gondola. 

Spain  (by  F.  M.  L.  Tonetti)  is  represented  by  Isabella  the  Catholic, 
wearing  the  regal  crown  and  royal  robes  on  which  are  embroidered  the 
castles  and  lions  of  Castile  and  Arragon,  and  the  Collar  of  the  Golden 
Fleece.  Her  right  hand  rests  on  a  globe,  the  left  on  sculptured  arms, 
with  the  little  Santa  Maria  of  Columbus's  fleet. 

Holland  (by  Louis  St.  Gaudens)  is  represented  by  Admiral  van  Tromp, 
with  characteristic  broad-brimmed  and  plumed  hat,  heavy  boots  and  long 
sword. 

Portugal  (by  Louis  St.  Gaudens)  is  represented  by  Prince  Henry  the 
Navigator,  clad  in  mediaeval  armor. 

Denmark  (by  Johannes  Gelert)  is  a  woman  Viking  carrying  a  board- 
ing pike.    Other  suggestions  are  rope  and  tackle. 

Germany  (by  Albert  Jaegers)  is  a  noble  idealization  of  Germania.  On 
her  cuirass  is  the  royal  eagle,  and  her  shield  bears  the  name  Kiel. 

France  (by  Charles  Graby),  wearing  the  liberty  cap,  holds  a  statue 


36 


NEW  YORK. 


to  indicate  preeminence  in  the  fine  arts,  and  a  crowing  cock  proclaims 
the  Frenchman's  challenge  to  the  world. 

England  (by  Charles  Graby)  is  personified  as  Britannia  with  hand  on 
steering  wheel,  and  bearing  a  shield  embossed  with  the  image  of  St. 
George. 

On  pedestals  advanced  from  the  building,  to  the  right  and  left  of  the 
main  entrance,  are  sculptured  marble  groups  by  Daniel  Chester  French, 
representing  the  four  continents.  Each  is  personified  as  a  woman,  and 
the  allegory  is  an  epitome  of  the  development  of  the  racial  type. 

Asia  holds  the  lotus  flower  and  in  her  lap  is  a  figure  of  the  Buddha. 
Beneath  her  feet  are  the  skulls  of  the  victims  of  oppression.  Her  eyes 
are  closed;  with  passive  countenance  she  is  heedless  of  the  prayers  of 
the  kneeling  Hindu,  the  Chinese  coolie,  whose  arms  are  bound,  and  the 
suppliant  women  bound  by  the  injustice  of  the  ages.  A  tiger  glares  into 
her  face.  Behind  her  shines  the  illuminating  cross  of  the  Christian 
religion. 

Africa,  reclining  against  an  Egyptian  pillar,  is  seated  between  a  lion 
and  a  sphinx.    Her  attitude  is  of  drowsiness  and  hopelessness. 

Europe  is  seated  on  a  throne  carved  with  the  emblems  of  achievement. 
The  open  book  is  of  the  mighty  past,  the  globe  is  the  sphere  of  empire, 
the  ships'  prows  stand  for  daring  exploration. 

America,  seated  on  a  stone  covered  with  barbaric  inscriptions,  holds 
in  one  hand  the  lighted  torch  of  progress;  the  other  is  extended  pro- 
tectingly  above  a  figure  signifying  labor.  An  Indian  peers  over  her 
shoulder,  the  eagle  is  by  her  side,  on  her  'knees  rest  sheaves  of  grain. 
The  attitude  is  alert,  energetic,  expectant. 

In  the  center  of  the  attic  of  the  Bowling  Green  front  is  a  cartouche  by 
Karl  Bitter,  displaying  the  shield  of  the  United  States,  supported  by  two 
female  figures  and  surmounted  by  an  American  eagle  with  outstretched 
wings.  The  sheathed  sword  typifies  power  and  the  security  of  peace ; 
the  bound  bundle  of  reeds  is  emblematic  of  the  strength  of  the  States 
united.  A  female  head  is  carved  above  the  entrance  arch  by  Alfano. 
and  under  the  arch  are  the  Arms  of  the  City  by  the  same  sculptor. 

The  Custom  House  occupies  an  historic  site.  In  the  reception  room 
of  the  Collector's  office  a  memorial  inscription  reads: 

"On  this  site  Fort  Amsterdam  was  erected  in  1626.  Government  House 
was  built  in  1790  for  President  Washington.  Here  George  Clinton  and 
John  Jay  lived.    Used  as  Custom  House  from  1733  to  1875." 


Bowling  Green. 


The  diminutive  oval  of  Bowling  Green,  at  the  foot  of  Broadway,  is  the 
city's  oldest  park.  Its  story  goes  back  to  the  beginning.  When  the  Dutch 
came  to  Manhattan  Island  in  1626,  they  built  Fort  Amsterdam,  which  stood 
where  the  new  Custom  House  is  now  building,  and  the  Green  was  the 
Plaine  reserved  as  a  drill  ground  in  front  of  the  fort.  A  hundred  years 
later  in  1732 — this  was  in  British  times — the  plot  was  by  resolution  of  the 
Corporation  leased  "to  some  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  said  Broadway,  in 
order  to  be  enclosed  to  make  a  Bowling  Green  thereof,  with  walks  therein, 
for  the  beauty  and  ornament  of  said  street,  as  well  as  for  the  recreation 
and  delight  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  city."  Thus  the  park  got  its  name. 
But  it  has  been  the  scene  of  more  exciting  events  than  the  most  warmly 
contested  game  of  bowls.  In  1765,  on  the  evening  of  the  day  when  the 
Stamp  Act  went  into  effect,  the  indignant  citizens  gathered  here,  and  using 
the  wooden  fence  of  the  Green  for  fuel,  burned  the  Lieutenant-Governor  in 
effigy.  When  the  act  was  repealed  in  1766,  the  people  showed  their  rejoicing 
by  bonfires  here,  and  afterward  ordered  from  England  an  equestrian 
statue  of  King  George  III.,  which  was  set  up  in  the  center  of  the  Bowling 
Green ;  and  the  park  was  inclosed  with  an  iron  fence,  which  had  been 
imported  from  England  at  a  cost  of  £800.  July  9,  1776,  after  listening  to  the 
reading  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  the  people  came  down  to  the 
Green,  threw  the  statue  from  its  pedestal  and  dragged  it  through  the 
streets.  Then,  since  it  was  leaden  and  represented  much  useful  ammuni- 
tion, it  was  shipped  to  Litchfield,  Connecticut,  where  it  was  melted  down 
and  run  into  bullets,  42,000  of  them,  for  Patriot  use;  and  it  is  recorded  that 
in  subsequent  engagements  400  British  soldiers  were  killed  with  these  bul- 
lets. The  posts  of  the  iron  railings  of  the  Green  were  ornamented  with 
crowns,  which  were  broken  off  that  July  night;  and  thus  mutilated  the  rail- 
ing is  here  to-day.  The  statue  which  now  adorns  the  park  is  of  Abraham 
de  Peyster,  an  ancient  worthy  of  Manhattan,  of  whom  most  of  us  would 
never  have  heard  if  he  had  not  had  a  descendant.  John  Watts  de  Peyster, 
of  the  seventh  generation  in  direct  descent,  to  erect  this  monument  in  his 
memory. 

At  Bowling  Green  we  are  in  the  midst  of  one  of  the  most  important 
business  centers  of  the  city.  To  the  south,  occupying  an  entire  square,  is 
the  new  U.  S.  Custom  House.  The  Produce  Exchange  is  just  across  the 
street,  and  on  either  side  of  Broadway  tower  the  immense  office  buildings. 
Those  on  the  right  are  the  Welles  and  the  Standard  Oil ;  on  the  left  the 
Washington,  Bowling  Green,  Columbia,  Aldrich  Court  and  Empire.  The 
Standard  is  the  home  of  the  Standard  Oil  Company.  The  Washington 
was  built  by  Cyrus  W.  Field,  founder  of  the  Atlantic  Cable  Company.  The 
Bowling  Green,  of  Byzantine  architecture,  should  be  visited  for  the  mag- 
nificent marbles  of  its  entrance  hall ;  at  the  further  end  of  the  hall  a  screen 
of  stained  glass  quaintly  pictures  the  old-time  bowling  on  the  green.

trinity  €l)urcb 


The  chief  architectural  adornment  of  lower  New  York  is  the  nobk 
Gothic  pile  of  Trinity  Church,  set  in  its  churchyard  on  Broadway  at  the 
head  of  Wall  street.  Its  proportions  have  been  dwarfed  by  the  surround- 
ing office  buildings,  which  tower  above  the  spire,  but  the  dignity  and  beauty 
of  Trinity  have  in  no  wise  been  diminished ;  the  contrast  between  its  rest- 
ful repose  and  the  turmoil  of  Broadway  is  as  grateful  to-day  as  ever;  and 
the  open  gate  still  as  persuasively  invites  us  to  turn  aside  for  a  moment 
within  the  twilight  of  its  aisles,  or  to  stroll  amid  the  headstones  where  so 
many  thousands  are  sleeping  the  long  sleep. 

The  church  is  the  third  of  those  which  have  stood  here  since  1697.  The 
first  one  was  burned  in  the  great  fire  of  1776,  which  destroyed  506  buildings, 
and  the  second  one,  having  become  unsafe,  was  pulled  down  to  make  way 
for  the  present  edifice,  which  was  completed  in  1846.  It  is  of  brown  sand- 
stone, and  is  regarded  as  a  fine  specimen  of  the  Gothic  style.  Thousands 
of  visitors  to  New  York  have  in  years  past  climbed  Trinity's  steeple  for  the 
view,  but  the  skyscrapers  have  changed  that.  The  finial  cross  is  284  feet 
above  the  pavement,  while  the  American  Surety  Building  across  Broadway 
is  306  feet,  the  Manhattan  Life  Building  348  feet,  and  the  Empire  Building 
?oo  feet.  In  the  belfry  is  the  famous  chime  of  bells.  On  New  Year's  Eve 
thousands  of  people  come  down  to  Trinity  to  hear  the  chimes  ring  out  the 
old  year  and  welcome  the  new. 

The  Bronze  Doors  which  adorn  the  entrances  were  given  by  William 
Waldorf  Astor  as  a  memorial  of  his  father,  John  Jacob  Astor.  Their  cost 
was  $40,000.  The  Central  Door  is  by  Carl  Bitter.  The  subjects  of  the 
panels  are  drawn  from  the  Bible: 

Genesis  III. :  23-24 — The  Expulsion  of  Adam  and  Eve  from  the  Garden. 

Genesis  XXVIII.:  10-13 — Jacob's  Dream  of  the  Ladder  ascending  to 
Heaven. 

St.  Luke  I. :  28-38 — The  Annunciation. 

St.  Matthew  XXVIII. :  1-8— The  Resurrection.    (The  two  Marys  at  the 

tomb.) 

Revelation  IV.:  6,  10,  11 — The  Vision  of  the  Throne. 

Revelation  VI. :  15,  16.  18 — The  Opening  of  the  Sixth  Seal. 

In  the  borders  and  tympanum  are  statuettes  of  the  Twelve  Apostles. 

The  North  Door  is  by  J.  Massey  Rhind.    The  subjects  are: 

Exodus  XII. :  23— The  Passover  in  Egypt.  (A  Hebrew  is  anointing  the 
lintel  and  door  post  with  blood  that  his  first  born  may  be  spared.) 

Deuteronomy  XIX.:  1-6 — The  City  of  Refuge  (to  the  gate  of  which  a 
fugitive  from  vengeance  has  just  come). 

Acts  III.:  1,  2 — The  miraculous  cure  by  St.  Peter  and  St.  John  of  the 
man  lame  from  his  birth. 

Acts  XVI.:  25-28 — Paul  and  Silas  leaving  the  prison  after  the  earth- 
quake. 

Domine  quo  vadis — The  legend,  as  told  in  a  sermon  attributed  to  St 
Ambrose,  is  that  as  St.  Peter  was  fleeing  from  Rome  to  escape  persecu-

tion,  he  met  his  Master  going  into  the  city;  and  to  the  Apostle's  Domine

Rome  to  be  crucified  again."

Dedication  of  the  Astor  Reredos  June  29,  1877. 

The  interior  is  of  impressive  size.  Rows  of  sculptured  stone  columns 
support  the  groined  roof ;  the  light  comes  in  subdued  and  warmed  by  the 
stained  glass  windows,  and  the  chancel  is  magnificent  with  the  superb  altar 
and  reredos  which  were  given  by  John  Jacob  Astor  and  William  Astor  in 
memory  of  their  father,  William  B.  Astor.  The  altar  is  of  pure  white 
marble;  its  face  is  divided  by  shafts  of  red  stone  into  three  panels;  in  the 
center  panel  is  a  Maltese  cross  in  mosaic  set  with  cameos,  with  a  Chri=t 
head,  and  the  symbols  of  the  Evangelists.  The  reredos  is  of  Caen  stone 
and  alabaster.  The  three  panels  on  each  side  and  the  large  one  in  th? 
center  contain  sculptures  of  scenes  in  the  life  of  Christ ;  and  above  a'-e 
statuettes  of  the  Twelve  Apostles.  The  reredos  is  20  feet  high,  and  fills 
almost  the  entire  width  of  the  chancel.   Its  cost  was  $100,000. 

Trinity  Churchyard. — There  was  a  graveyard  here  (the  site  was  then 
beyond  the  city  limits)  before  the  first  church  was  built  in  1697.  The 
oldest  grave  that  can  be  identified  is  in  the  northern  section  on  the  left 
of  the  first  path;  it  is  that  of  a  little  child,  Richard  Churcher,  "who 
died  .  the  5  of  .  April  1681  .  of  .  age  .  5  years  and  .  5  .  months"  ;  and 
whose  name,  engraved  on  the  sandstone  slab,  has  endured  through  the 
centuries  with  an  immortality  singularly  in  contrast  with  the  brief  span  of 
his  child  life. 

Near  the  porch  on  the  north  side  of  the  church  is  the  grave  of  William 
Bradford,  Printer,  who  printed  the  first  newspaper  in  New  York — the  Nczv 
York  Gazette  in  1725.  He  died  in  1752,  aged  ninety-two  years.  The  stone 
bears  the  injunction: 

Reader,  reflect  how  soon  you  11  quit  this  Stage; 
You'll  find  but  few  attain  to  such  an  Age. 
Life's  fult  of  Pain    Lo!    Here's  a  place  of  Rest. 
Frcpare  to  meet  your  GOD,  then  you  arc  blest. 

Following  the  path  to  the  right,  we  come  to  a  slab,  lying  fiat  in  the 
turf,  inscribed  with  the  name  of  Charlotte  Temple.  But  Charlotte  Temple 
was  a  creation  of  fiction,  the  heroine  of  Mrs.  Rowson's  "Charlo.te  Temple: 
A  Tale  of  Truth."  written  in  1790.  The  story  was  of  an  English  school 
girl,  who  eloped  with  her  lover,  a  British  officer;  came  to  New  York;  was 
betrayed  and  deserted,  and  died  of  a  broken  heart.    The  pathetic  tale  took

strong  hold  upon  the  tender  sympathies  of  the  maids  and  matrons  of  that 
day,  and  has  had  vogue  among  readers  of  "Tales  of  Truth"  ever  since.  By 
many  Mrs.  Rowson's  heroine  has  been  accepted  as  a  real  person.  It  was 
no  wonder,  then,  that  when,  in  the  40s,  one  of  the  stonecutters  employed  in 
the  erection  of  the  church  carved  on  this  slab  the  name  of  Charlotte 
Temple,  the  imitation  tombstone  laid  here  above  the  imaginary  grave  of 
a  fictitious  character  in  due  time  became  a  shrine  of  sentimental  pilgrimage. 
Countless  flowers  have  been  laid  upon  "the  grave  of  Charlotte  Temple ;" 
we  may  find  such  tributes  here  to-day. 

The  Richard  Churcher  headstone  is  directly  across  the  path  from  here; 
on  the  back  of  the  stone  is  carved  the  emblem  of  a  winged  hour-glass  with 
skull  and  cross-bones.  A  few  steps  beyond,  on  the  left,  is  the  curious 
tombstone  of  Sidney  Breese,  merchant  and  officer  in  the  British  army,  who 
died  in  1767.   The  epitaph  runs : 

Sidney  Breese  June  9  1767 
Made  by  himself 
Ha  Sidney  Sidney 
Lyest  thoo  here 

I  here  Lye

To  its  Eternity 

In  the  northern  part  of  the  ground  near  Broadway  stands  the  handsome 
Gothic  memorial  commonly  called  the  Martyrs'  Monument  : 

Sacred  to  the  Memory  of  those  brave  and  good  Men,  who  died  whilst  im- 
prisoned in  this  City,  for  their  devotion  to  the  cause  of  American  Independence. 

During  the  Revolution,  the  regular  jails  of  the  city  not  sufficing  to  contain 
the  American  prisoners,  churches  and  sugar  houses  were  converted  into 
prisons.  Crowded  into  these,  the  patriot  prisoners  were  subjected  by 
their  British  jailers  to  such  cruelties  and  privations  that  thousands  died  of 
disease  and  starvation;  and  day  by  day  the  dead  were  carried  out  and 
thrown  into  trenches.  Tradition  has  it  that  many  were  so  buried  here;  and 
the  monument  was  erected  at  a  time  when  the  city  proposed  to  cut  a  street 
through  the  churchyard  at  this  point. 

On  the  left,  as  we  enter  at  the  lower  Broadway  gate,  is  the  monument, 
"In  memory  of  Captain  James  Lawrence,  of  the  United  States  Navy,  who 
fell  on  the  1st  day  of  June,  1813,  in  the  32d  year  of  his  age,  in  the  action 
between  the  frigates  Chesapeake  and  Shannon."  The  tribute  on  the 
pedestal  reads: 

The  heroick  commander  of  the  frigate  Chesapeake,  whose  remains  are  here 
deposited,  expressed  with  his  expiring  breath  his  devotion  to  his  country. 
Neither  the  fury  of  battle,  the  anguish  of  a  mortal  wound,  nor  the  horrors  of 
approaching  death  could  subdue  his  gallant  spirit.  His  dying  words  were. 
"DON'T  GIVE  UP  THE  SHIP." 

The  wife  of  Captain  Lawrence,  who  survived  her  husband  for  more  than 
fifty  years,  lies  beside  him.  Just  beyond  is  the  bronze  statue  of  Judge  John 
Watts,  who  was  Recorder  of  the  City  in  Colonial  days. 


TRINITY  CHURCHYARD.

Alexander  Hamilton's  tomb  is  marked  by  the  conspicuous  white  marble 
monument  in  the  south  grounds  near  the  Rector  street  railing.  On  the 
pedestal  is  inscribed : 

To  the  memory  of  Alexander  Hamilton  the  Corporation  of  Trinity  Church  ha3 
erected  this  monument  in  testimony  of  their  respect  for  the  Patriot  of  Incorrupt- 
ible Integrity,  the  Soldier  of  Approved  Valour,  the  Statesman  of  Consummate 
Wisdom,  whose  talents  and  virtues  will  be  admired  by  grateful  posterity  long 
after  this  marble  shall  have  mouldered  ;nto  dust.  He  died  July  12,  1804, 
aged  47. 

Here  too  is  the  grave  of  his  wife,  who  died  in  1854,  after  a  widowhood  of 
fifty  years. 

But  we  cannot  begin  to  catalogue  the  names  of  the  distinguished  dead 
who  repose  here — Livingston  and  Lewis,  signers  of  the  Declaration  of 
Independence ;  Albert  Gallatin,  who  succeeded  Hamilton  as  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury;  Robert  Fulton,  inventor  of  the  steamboat;  General  Philip 
Kearney,  hero  of  Chantilly,  whose  death  evoked  Boker's  noble  "Dirge  for  a 
Soldier,"  beginning: 

Close  his  eyes;  his  work  is  done! 

What  to  him  is  friend  or  foeman, 
Rise  of  moon,  or  set  of  sun, 

Hand  of  man  or  kiss  of  woman?' 

If  we  were  to  tell  them  all,  whose  monuments  and  headstones  are  legible 
to-day,  there  would  yet  remain  the  host  whose  names  have  been  eaten  from 
the  stones  by  the  tooth  of  time,  and  the  yet  greater  host  whose  resting  places 
are  unmarked  and  whose  names  are  unknown.  Trinity's  dead  number 
many  tens  of  thousands. 

From  various  points  in  the  churchyard  we  get  glimpses  through  the 
trees  of  the  great  office  buildings  on  Broadway,  chief  among  them  the 
American  Surety  Building,  with  its  gilded  cornice  shining  against  the  blue 
of  the  sky.  On  the  south  the  stupendous  fagade  of  the  Empire  Building 
extends  from  Broadway  to  Church  street;  on  the  west  is  the  United 
States  Express  Company's  Building,  and  on  the  other  side  of  Broadway 
are  the  Manhattan  Life  and  the  Union  Trust.  On  the  north  rises  the 
twenty-one-story  Trinity  Building,  its  fagade  stretching  from  Broadway 
to  Church  street  and  rising  280  feet  in  the  air. 

The  statues  of  the  Evangelists,  above  the  doors  on  the  north  and  south, 
were  presented  by  William  Fitzhugh  Whitehouse. 

Trinity  Church,  established  in  1697,  is  the  richest  church  society  in 
America.  From  its  income  of  $775,000  a  year  it  supports  the  parent 
church  and  eight  chapels  (St.  Paul's  among  them),  contributes  regu- 
larly to  twenty-four  congregations,  and  maintains  schools,  a  dispensary, 
a  hospital  and  a  long  list  of  charitable  enterprises.  The  two  plots  of 
real  estate  occupied  by  Trinity  and  St.  Paul's  would  bring  a  fabulous 
price. 


(Uall  Street 


Wall  street  took  its  name  from  the  wall  which  once  defended  New 
Amsterdam  at  this  point.*  The  wall  outlived  its  usefulness  and  disap- 
peared 200  years  ago,  but  the  name  it  gave  to  the  street  which  ran  beside 
it  has  become  the  most  famous  street  name  in.  the  world. 

Wall  Street  the  place  is  the  financial  center  of  the  country.  Wall  Street 
the  name  is  synonymous  with  securities,  stocks,  bonds  and  shares,  trust 
certificates,  gold,  money,  investment,  speculation,  fortune,  ruin.  We  shall 
find  here  a  succession  of  imposing  bank  and  office  buildings  whose  archi- 
tectural effect  is  of  solidity,  strength  and  durability — qualities  which  have 
their  ultimate  expression  in  the  massive  constructions  of  the  Sub-Treasury 
and  the  Custom  House.  Facing  the  street  and  filling  the  vista  on  Broad- 
way, stands  Trinity  Church,  its  melodious  belfry  chiming  the  hours  of  the 
Wall  Street  day.  The  sidewalks  and  the  street  itself  are  crowded  with 
alert,  intent,  hurrying,  jostling  throngs  of  bankers,  brokers,  lawyers,  clerks, 
expressmen,  messenger  boys,  ubiquitous  here  as  everywhere  throughout  the 
city;  and  now  and  then,  if  we  recognize  him,  a  detective. 

A  few  steps  from  Broadway,  New  street  opens  to  the  south  in  a  veritable 
Rocky  Mountain  canon  between  towering  cliffs.   A  few  doors  below  is  the 

New  York  Stock  Exchange,  the  greatest  market  of  stocks,  bonds, 
and  other  securities  in  the  world.  The  exchange  has  1,100  members ;  seats 
have  sold  as  high  as  $95,000.  Admission  to  the  visitors'  gallery  is  by  card 
from  a  member.  The  chief  external  feature  of  the  exterior  of  the  million- 
dollar  building  is  the  Broad  street  fagade. 

The  Consolidated  Exchange  occupies  a  monumental  building  at  the 
corner  of  Broad  and  Beaver  streets.  The  Curb  Market  of  the  "curb- 
stone brokers"  is  in  Broad  street  in  front  of  the  Mills  Building.  It  is 
a  meeting  place  for  trading  in  stocks,  Standard  Oil  among  them,  which 
are  not  dealt  in  on  the  regular  exchanges. 

At  the  corner  of  Nassau  street  is  the  sixteen-story  Gillender  Building 
(273  feet  high),  and  opposite  is  the  United  States  Sub-Treasury,  a 
branch  of  the  Treasury  at  Washington,  and  second  in  importance  only  to 
the  parent  institution.  Two-thirds  of  the  direct  money  dealings  of  the 
Treasury  are  transacted  through  the  New  York  branch.  The  vaults  con- 
tain immense  deposits  of  coin;  the  sum  stored  here  has  reached 
$225,000,000  at  one  time.  (Not  open  to  inspection.)  The  building  occupies 
the  site  where  stood  in  Colonial  times  the  City  Hall  and  the  Capitol  of 
the  Province,  which  afterward  became  Federal  Hall,  in  which  assembled 
the  first  Congress.  The  furniture  used  then  is  preserved  in  the  City  Hall. 
In  front  of  the  Wall  street  portico  stands  Ward's  statue  of  Washington, 
erected  under  the  auspices  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  unveiled 
Nov.  26,  1883,  the  centennial  anniversary  of  Evacuation  Day.  The  bronze

♦The  wall  was  built  by  command  of  Gov.  Peter  Stuyvesant  in  1653.  The  palisades, 
or  stockade,  extended  along-  the  East  River,  from  near  the  present  head  of  Coenties 
Slip,  on  the  north  line  of  Pearl  Street,  crossing  the  fields  to  the  North  River,  on 
the  present  north  side  of  Wall  Street  (whence  its  name),  and  then  along  the  North 
River  to  the  fort,  just  east  of  Greenwich  Street,  which  was  then  under  water.  In 
digging  the  foundation  of  the  new  Bowling  Green  offices,  6-11  Broadway,  a  large 
number  of  these  old  posts  were  found  many  feet  under  the  surface.  Although  nearly 
250  years  old,  the  portions  found  were  in  a  wonderful  state  of  preservation.  Canes  and 
other  mementoes  have  been  made  from  these. — Spencer  Trask  in  Historic  New  York.

April  30th,  1789,  George  Washington  took  the  oath  as  the  first  President

a  period  of  about  ten  years.  Solidity  and  impenetrability  seem  to  have

roof  it  is  an  ingeniously  welded  mass  of  stone  and  iron.  Its  essential  parts 
do  not  include  a  stick  of  timber.  The  building  stands  on  solid  rock,  and  its 
roof  is  of  stone.  Its  walls  are  from  three  to  five  feet  thick,  with  windows 
iron-barred  and  protected  by  steel  shutters.  Beneath  the  main  floor,  which 
is  of  solid  masonry,  there  are  a  basement  twelve  feet  high  and  a  sub- 
basement  about  six  feet  in  height.  This  sub-basement  is  a  perfect  cata- 
comb of  heavy  brick  arches  resting  on  solid  rock.  For  all  purposes  of 
defense  the  Sub-Treasury  is  a  fortress.  Housed  within  its  almost  im- 
pregnable walls  ioo  men  could  resist  the  assaults  of  armed  thousands  as 
long  as  the  provisions  held  out.  In  the  upper  part  of  the  building  there  is 
an  arsenal  which  contains  an  adequate  equipment  for  at  least  ioo  men. 
There  are  three  Gatling  guns,  stacks  of  rifles,  cabinets  of  huge  navy  re- 
volvers, and  moreover,  a  magazine  full  of  deadly  hand-grenades.  For  the 
effective  use  of  these  weapons  provision  has  also  been  made.  Each  one  of 
the  steel  shutters  at  the  doors  and  windows  contains  loopholes  through 
which  shots  may  be  fired,  and  on  the  roof  are  three  bullet-proof  turrets,  ten

feet  high,  from  which  riflemen  could  in  safely  shower  cold  lead  down 
upon  a  mob.  As  an  additional  safeguard,  the  ceilings  of  the  stone  porches 
at  the  two  ends  of  the  building  are  perforated,  and  from  these  points  of 
vantage,  inaccessible  from  the  streets,  the  defenders  of  the  building  would 
be  able  to  drop  explosives  upon  the  heads  of  any  foolhardy  assailants  who 
might  try  to  batter  down  the  doors." — New  York  Times. 

Adjoining  the  Sub-Treasury  is  the  United  States  Assay  Office,  a 
branch  of  the  "Mint.  It  is  squat,  dingy  and  insignificant  in  contrast  with  the 
pretentious  buildings  which  characterize  Wall  street.  We  shall  entertain 
much  respect  for  it,  however,  when,  under  the  escort  of  the  courteous 
guide,  we  have  looked  upon  the  great  refining  furnaces,  where  $50,000,000 
worth  of  the  precious  metals  are  melted  in  a  year;  the  hydraulic  press,  with 
a  pressure  of  200  tons  to  the  square  foot,  which  compresses  the  refined 
gold  into  $20,000  cheeses;  the  delicate  scales,  which  register  weights 
ranging  from  a  thousand  pounds  to  a  single  hair  from  one's  head,  and  the 
piles  of  gold  bricks — a  $7,000  specimen  of  which,  perhaps,  we  may  have 
held  in  our  hands.  When  Wall  Street  bought  England's  war  bonds  in  1900, 
the  $28,000,000  paid  for  them  was  shipped  from  the  Assay  Office  in  iust 
such  gold  bricks.   Visitors  are  admitted  from  10  A.  M.  to  3  P.  M.

Further  down  the  street,  on  the  opposite  side,  is  seen  the  National 
City  Bank  Building,  with  its  double  tier  of  immense  granite  columns. 
This  is  the  old  Custom  House,  which  was  built  at  a  cost  of  $1,800,000. 
No  longer  serving  for  the  growing  volume  of  the  customs  business,  it 
was  sold  by  the  Government  for  $3,500,000. 

The  streets  which  are  near  Wall  street  and  open  out  from  it — Cedar, 
Pine,  Broad,  Nassau,  William,  Exchange  place  and  lower  Broadway — 
are  in  ail  essentials  a  part  of  it.  The  term  "Wall  Street"  as  meaning  a 
financial  center  includes  them  all.  Though  we  enter  the  Stock  Exchange 
from  Wall  street,  the  Exchange  fronts  on  Broad  street.  Opposite  the 
Sub-Treasury  at  the  corner  of  Broad  and  Wall  is  the  white  marble 
Drexel  Building,  with  the  offices  of  J.  P.  Morgan  &  Co.  Next  to  it  on 
Broad  street  is  the  Mills  Building.  South  rises  the  twenty-story  Broad 
Exchange,  which  cost  $7,500,000,  and  measured  by  floor  space  is  the 
largest  office  building  in  the  world.  Notable  structures  on  the  west 
of  the  street  are  the  twenty-one-story  Commercial  Cable  with  its  twin 
domes,  the  fifteen-story  Johnston  and  the  Edison,  deserving  of  attention 
for  the  richness  and  dignity  of  its  facade.  Turn  which  way  we  may  from 
Wall  street,  we  shall  find  ourselves  in  a  maze  of  deep  and  narrow  canons, 
for  here  we  are  in  the  heart  of  New  York's  high  buildings. 

The  Clearing  House,  on  Cedar  street  near  Broadway,  occupies  a 
building  which  is  one  of  the  handsomest  in  New  York.  In  design  and 
adornment,  the  white  marble  structure  is  in  fit  keeping  with  the  dignity 
and  importance  of  an  institution  whose  daily  transactions  are  regarded 
as  a  barometer  of  the  financial  condition  of  the  country.  The  cost  was 
$1,100,000.    Visitors  are  not  admitted. 

The  Clearing  House  Association  comprises  fifty-three  banks  (these  rep- 
resenting also  numerous  others),  which  meet  here  to  settle  their  accounts 
with  one  another.  In  the  course  of  its  business,  each  one  of  the  fifty-three 
banks  receives  checks  and  drafts  drawn  against  some  or  all  of  the  fifty-two 
others.  Instead  of  each  one  sending  to  collect  these  checks  from  the 
fifty-two  others,  all  the  banks  come  together  in  the  Clearing  House  and 
turn  in  the  checks  drawn  on  each.  After  a  system  of  exchange,  a  bal- 
ance is  struck  and  the  sum  is  ascertained  which  each  bank  must  pay  in 
or  which  must  be  paid  to  it  to  clear  its  account.  By  this  system  of 
paying  differences  it  is  practicable  to  settle  enormous  accounts  in  a  way 
extremely  simple  and  expeditious  and  involving  the  actual  payment  of 
amounts  which  are  comparatively  small.  Thus  for  the  year  1899  the 
average  daily  clearings  (i.  e.,  the  sum  of  the  checks  presented  by  all  the 
banks)  was  $189,961,029.  while  the  average  daily  balances,  paid  in  cash, 
were  $10,218,448,  or  5^  per  cent. 

The  clerks  representing  the  banks  meet  in  the  Clearing  House  at  10 
o'clock,  and  the  balances  are  ascertained  by  12:30.  A  bank  which  is  a 
debtor  to  the  Clearing  House  must  pay  its  balance  by  1 130  of  the  same 
day,  either  in  cash  or  Clearing  House  certificates.  Banks  which  are 
creditors  receive  checks  for  the  balance  due  them  the  same  day. 

The  average  daily  clearings  for  the  year  ending  Sept.  30.  1904.  were 
$205,831,659.98.  The  largest  daily  transaction  on  record  was  the  enormous

total  of  $622,410,525.56,  following  the  Northern  Pacific  corner.  The 
Clearing  House  Association  is  now  composed  of  thirty-six  national 
banks  and  seventeen  State  banks,  with  the  Sub-Treasury  as  a  special 
member.  There  are  seventy-four  banks  and  trust  companies  in  the  city 
and  vicinity  not  members  of  the  association,  but  which  make  their  ex- 
changes through  the  Clearing  House. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  is  a  massive  pile  of  white  marble,  in 
the  Renaissance  style,  with  decorations  in  bronze.  Between  the  columns 
are  statues  of  Alexander  Hamilton  by  Martini,  De  Witt  Clinton  by  French, 
and  John  Jay  by  Bitter,  and  above  the  entrance  are  groups  symbolical 
of  Commerce.  The  vestibule  admits  to  a  monumental  hall  and  broad 
stairway  of  Caen  stone.  Admission  is  by  card  of  a  member. 
The  Chamber  is  a  magnificent  apartment  ninety  feet  long,  sixty  feet

in  width  and  thirty  feet  high.  It  is  lighted  through  an  enormous  sky- 
light in  the  ceiling;  and  the  walls,  unbroken  to  a  height  of  twenty  feet, 
are  hung  with  the  Chamber's  large  collection  of  portraits  of  New 
York  merchants. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce,  organized  in  1768,  is  an  association  of 
merchants  which  concerns  itself  with  questions  affecting  domestic  and 
foreign  commerce,  the  welfare  of  the  city  and  national  interests.  It  has 
had  large  influence  in  the  development  of  the  port  of  New  York  and  the 
city's  growth  and  commercial  expansion.  The  annual  dinner  given  by 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  is  an  occasion  of  discussion  of  public 
questions. 


$t.  Paul's  £bapel. 


St.  Paul's  Chapel  is  on  Broadway  between  Vesey  and  Fulton  street-, 
just  below  the  City  Hall  Park  and  the  Post  Office.  Curiously  enough,  the 
Broadway  end  of  the  building  is  the  rear,  for  the  church  was  built  fronting 
on  the  river ;  and  in  the  old  days  a  pleasant  lawn  sloped  down,  to  the 
water's  edge,  which  was  then  on  the  line  of  Greenwich  street.  One  effect 
of  St.  Paul's  thus  looking  away  from  Broadway  is  to  give  us  at  the  portal 
an  increased  sense  of  remoteness  from  the  great  thoroughfare  and  of  isola- 
tion from  its  strenuous  life,  so  that  all  the  more  readily  we  yield  to  the 
pervading  spell  of  the  churchyard's  peaceful  calm. 

St.  Paul's  is  a  cherished  relic  of  Colonial  days.  Built  in  1766  as  a 
chapel  of  Trinity  Parish,  it  is  the  only  church  edifice  which  has  been 
preserved  from  the  pre-Revolutionary  period.  After  the  burning  of 
Trinity  in  1776,  St.  Paul's  became  the  parish  church;  here  worshiped 
Lord  Howe  and  Major  Andre  and  the  English  midshipman  who  was 
afterward  King  George  IV.  After  his  inauguration  at  Federal  Hall  in 
Wall  street,  President  Washington  and  both  houses  of  Congress  came  in 
solemn  procession  to  St.  Paul's,  where  service  was  conducted  by  Bishop 
Provoost,  Chaplain  of  the  Senate,  and  a  Te  Dcum  was  sung.  Thereafter, 
sc.  long  as  New  York  remained  the  Capital,  the  President  was  a  regular 
attendant  here;  his  diary  for  Sunday  after  Sunday  contains  the  entry: 
"Went  to  St.  Paul's  Chapel  in  the  forenoon."  Washington's  Pew  re- 
mains to-day  as  it  was  then ;  it  is  midway  of  the  church  on  the  left  aisle, 
and  is  marked  by  the  Arms  of  the  United  States  on  the  wall.  Across  the 
church  is  the  pew  which  was  reserved  for  the  Governor  of  the  State,  and 
was  occupied  by  Governor  Clinton ;  above  it  are  the  State  Arms.  The 
pulpit  canopy  is  ornamented  with  the  gilded  crest  of  the  Prince  of  Wales, 
a  crown  surmounted  by  three  ostrich  feathers.  It  is  the  only  emblem  of 
royalty  that  escaped  destruction  at  the  hands  of  the  Patriots  when  they 
came  into  possession  of  the  city  in  1783. 

In  the  wall  of  the  Broadway  portico,  where  it  is  seen  from  the  street  and 
is  observed  by  innumerable  eyes  daily,  is  the  Montgomery  Monument, 
in  memory  of  Major-General  Richard  Montgomery,  of  Revolutionary 
fame.  It  consists  of  a  mural  tablet  bearing  an  urn  upon  a  pedestal  sup- 
ported by  military  accoutrements.  General  Montgomery  commanded  the 
expedition  against  Canada  in  1775,  and  on  Dec.  31  of  that  year,  in  com- 
pany with  Colonel  Benedict  Arnold,  led  the  assault  upon  Quebec.  Just 
after  the  exclamation,  "Men  of  New  York,  you  will  follow  where  your 
General  leads!"  he  fell,  mortally  wounded.  Aaron  Burr  bore  his  body 
from  the  field,  and  the  Englishmen  gave  it  soldier's  burial  in  the  city. 
Forty-three  years  later,  in  18 18,  Canada  surrendered  the  remains  to  the 
United  States. 

>The  monument  had  been  ordered  by  Congress  as  early  as  1776.  It  was 
bought  by  Benjamin  Franklin  in  Paris,  and  was  shipped  to  America  on  a 
privateer.   A  British  gunboat  captured  the  privateer,  and  in  turn  was  taken 


54 


st.  paul's  chapel  and  churchyard. 


56 


NEW  YORK. 


by  an  American  vessel,  and  so  at  last  the  monument  reached  its  destination. 

The  inscriptions  read : 

This  Monument  is  erected  by  order  of  CONGRESS,  25th  Janry,  1776,  to 
transmit  to  Posterity  a  grateful  remembrance  of  the  patriotic  conduct,  enterprise 
and  perseverance  of  MAJOR  GENERAL  RICHARD  MONTGOMERY,  who 
after  a  series  of  successes  amidst  the  most  discouraging  Difficulties  Fell  in  the 
attack  on  QUEBEC  31st  Decbr,  1775.   Aged  37  years. 

The  State  of  New  York  caused  the  remains  of  Mair.  Genl.  Richard  Mont- 
gomery to  be  conveyed  from  Quebec  and  deposited  beneath  this  monument  the 
8th  day  of  July,  1818. 

At  that  time  Mrs.  Montgomery,  in  the  forty-third  year  of  her  widow- 
hood, was  living  near  Tarrytown  on  the  Hudson.  Governor  Clinton  had 
told  her  of  the  day  when  the  steamboat  Richmond  bearing  her  husband  s 
remains  would  pass  down  the  river;  and  sitting  alone  on  the  piazza  of  her 
house,  she  watched  for  its  coming.  With  what  amotions  she  saw  the 
pageant  is  told  in  a  letter  written  to  her  niece : 

"At  length  they  came  by  with  all  that  remained  of  a  beloved  husband, 
who  left  me  in  the  bloom  of  manhood,  a  perfect  being.  Alas !  how  did 
he  return?  However  gratifying  to  my  heart,  yet  to  my  feelings  every  pang 
I  felt  was  renewed.  The  pomp  with  which  it  was  conducted  added  to  my 
woe ;  when  the  steamboat  passed  with  slow  and  solemn  movement,  stopping 
before  my  house,  the  troops  under  arms,  the  Dead  March  from  the  muffled 
drums,  the  mournful  music,  the  splendid  coffin  canopied  with  crepe  and 
crowned  with  plumes,  you  may  conceive  my  anguish.    I  cannot  describe  it." 

The  most  conspicuous  monuments  in  the  churchyard  near  Broadway  are 
those  of  Thomas  Addis  Emmett  and  Dr.  William  J.  MacNevin.  both  of 
whom  participated  in  the  Irish  rebellion  of  1798,  came  to  New  York  and 
achieved  distinction,  Emmett  at  the  bar  and  MacNevin  in  medicine.  The 
inscriptions  are  in  English,  Celtic  and  Latin.  West  of  the  church  is  thr 
urn  with  flames  issuing  from  it,  which  marks  the  resting  place  of  George 
Frederick  Cooke,  the  distinguished  tragedian;  born  in  England  1756; 
died  in  New  York  1812.  The  monument  was  erected  in  1821  by  the  great 
English  actor,  Edmund  Kean,  and  has  been  the  subject  of  pious  care  by 
Charles  Kean,  who  restored  it  in  1846.  Edward  A.  Sothern  in  1874  an"' 
Edwin  Booth  in  1890    The  epitaph  is  by  Fitz-Grecne  Halleck: 

Three  Kingdoms  claim  his  birth, 

Botn  hemispheres  pronounce  his  worth. 

In  the  high  building  which  looks  down  upon  St.  Paul's  Churchyard 
from  the  south  is  the  home  of  the  Evening  Mail;  and  across  the  church- 
yard on  Vesey  street  is  the  Evening  Post.  The  twenty-five-story  St. 
Paul  Building  occupies  the  site  of  the  old  Herald  Building,  and  before 
that  of  Barnum's  Museum.  The  Park  Bank,  adjoining,  is  one  of  the 
largest  banks  in  the  country.  On  the  north  is  the  Astor  House,  which 
was  built  in  1836  by  the  original  John  Jacob  Astor.  It  was  the  Waldorf- 
Astoria  of  the  day,  the  pride  of  the  city  and  the  admiration  of  visitors, 
and  for  more  than  fifty  years  held  place  as  the  most  famous  hotel  in 
the  country.    It  is  one  of  the  landmarks  of  old  New  York. 


BROADWAY  AT  THE  POST-OFFICE  LOOKING  NORTH. 


€ity  Rail  Park. 


There  are  some  of  us  to  whom  this  little  park  is  very  dear;  it  is  our 
bit  of  nature — not  the  real  country,  but  a  symbol  of  it.  which,  as  we  see 
it  from  day  to  day,  tells  us  in  miniature  of  the  pageant  of  the  seasons. 
We  watch  the  tender  green  of  its  grass  in  the  spring,  and  note  the 
swelling  buds  and  the  unfolding  leaves,  and  when  the  robin  and  the 
oriole  stop  here  on  their  northward  migration  we  know  that  the  birds 
are  nesting  in  the  orchards  and  the  village  elms.  When  the  crumpled 
leaves  strew  the  lawns  we  see  in  fancy  the  painted  panorama  of  the 
autumn  hills;  and  in  winter  the  diminutive  expanses  of  snow  are  magni- 
fied into  illimitable  fields  shrouded  in  white  and  still  in  the  moonlight. 
This  is  the  City  Hall  Park  of  suggestion. 

The  actual  City  Hall  Park  is  the  center  and  head  of  the  official  life 
of  New  York.  Here  are  the  municipal  and  county  buildings;  the  City  Hall, 
with  the  offices  of  Mayor,  Marshal  and  Sheriff,  the  halls  of  the  Council 
and  Assembly;  and  here  are  the  courts  with  judges,  jurors,  lawyers  and 
litigants.  Here  congregate  the  politicians,  sleek,  rotund,  silk-hatted. 
Here  to  the  Mayor's  office  come  the  Italians  to  be  married,  hundreds  of 
couples  every  year.  The  park  is  the  stamping  ground — theirs  from  time 
immemorial — of  the  newsboy  and  the  bootblack,  and  here,  too,  we  shall 
meet  the  gentleman  who  requests  us  to  lend  him  two  cents  to  get  a 
night's  lodging. 

On  the  west  Broadway  rolls  its  ceaseless  course;  on  the  east  is 
Park  Row;  on  the  north  runs  Chambers  street,  and  on  the  south  the 
Post  Office  occupies  a  site  which  was  taken  for  it  from  the  original 
Park  area.  Looming  up  above  the  Post  Office  rises  the  tremendous 
bulk  of  the  Park  Row  Building.  Fronting  the  park  on  the  east  is  the 
Potter  Building;  adjoining  is  No.  39  Park  Row;  above  and  beyond  it 
the  American  Tract  Society  Building,  with  a  restaurant  on  the  twenty- 
third  floor,  giving  grand  views  from  the  windows.  To  the  north  is 
the  home  of  the  Tribune,  founded  by  Horace  Greeley;  Ward's  bronze 
statue  of  Greeley  stands  in  front  of  the  publication  office.  Adjoining 
the  Tribune  the  Sun  "shines  for  all"  from  the  building  which  was.  in 
181 1,  the  first  Tammany  Hall.  High  above  its  contemporaries,  the 
World  occupies  offices  in  the  dome  of  the  Pulitzer  Building.  The 
Brooklyn  Bridge  here  interrupts  the  succession  of  Newspaper  Row, 
but  we  may  see  beyond  it  the  German  Herold,  with  the  herald  sounding 
his  trumpet  on  the  roof. 

The  open  space  upon  which  the  Tribune  fronts  is  Printing  House 
Square.  Over  it  presides  Benjamin  Franklin,  the  patron  saint  of 
Printerdom.    The  bronze  statue  is  by  Plassman.

NEW  YORK. 


The  scene  in  Printing  House  Square  is  characteristic  of  a  newspaper 
center.  Crowds  gather  about  the  bulletin  boards ;  great  rolls  of  paper  are 
unloading  for  the  cylinder  presses;  yellow  delivery  wagons  are  scurrying 
away  with  yellower  extras,  and  newsboys  and  newswomen  obstruct  the 
sidewalk  and  assail  us  with  their  shrill  but  not  unmusical  cries.  If  we 
cross  over  to  Frankfort  street,  between  the  Sun  and  World,  in  the  late 
afternoon,  we  shall  see,  in  the  clamorous  swarms  of  newsboys  awaiting 
their  papers,  one  of  the  sights  of  New  York — one  wonders  where  they 
all  come  from  and  where  they  all  go  to  after  they  have  passed  beyond  the 
newsboy  stage.  But  the  great  spectacle  of  Printing  House  Square  comes 
only  once  in  four  years.  It  is  the  scene  of  election  night,  when  Square  and 
Park  are  one  surging  mass  of  humanity  gathered  to  read  the  returns  dis- 
played on  newspaper  office  transparencies ;  to  shout  and  hurrah  with  delight 
or  groan  and  hoot  in  disgust  as  another  county  is  heard  from ;  to  be  enter- 
tained meanwhile  by  the  newspaper  brass  bands  and  to  entertain  themselves 
with  a  thousand  hideous,  braying  horns.  It  is  a  typical  New  York  crowd, 
which  means  a  good-natured  crowd,  an  orderly  crowd  and  a  crowd  of  which 
it  is  good  to  be  a  part. 

West  of  the  Park,  on  Broadway,  rises  the  Postal  Telegraph  Building,  and 
next  to  it  is  that  of  the  Home  Life,  whose  white  marble  front  is  one  of 
the  most  beautiful  in  town.  Beyond  on  the  corner  of  Chambers  street 
rise  the  square  towers  of  the  Shoe  and  Leather  Bank.  Beside  it  is  the 
new  Chemical  Bank,  with  its  deposits  of  over  $25,000,000,  and  its  shares 
of  capital  stock,  which,  with  a  par  value  of  $100,  sell  for  more  than 
$4,000.  If  we  happen  to  see  a  plainly  dressed  old  woman  emerge  from 
the  bank  it  is,  most  likely,  Mrs.  Hetty  Green,  the  wealthiest  woman  in 
the  world,  who  makes  the  bank  her  headquarters,  coming  here  every  day 
from  her  little  Hoboken  flat.  On  the  upper  side  of  Chambers  street  is 
the  seventeen-story  Broadway  Chambers.  The  white  marble  office  build- 
ing opposite  was  formerly  the  wholesale  store  of  A.  T.  Stewart,  built 
on  the  site  of  an  old  negro  graveyard.  Rising  above  it  is  the  handsome 
Dun  Building;  back  of  it  is  the  Emigrant  Industrial  Savings  Bank,  and 
then  the  American  News  Company's  building,  with  the  figure  of  the 
newsboy  on  the  roof. 

The  special  architectural  feature  of  the  Park  in  which  New  Yorkers 
take  just  pride  is  the  City  Hall,  much  admired  by  architects  for  the  well- 
balanced  and  symmetrical  design  and  the  purity  of  its  classic  details.  It 
was  completed  in  1812.  The  Goddess  of  Justice,  holding  her  even  scales 
on  the  cupola,  is  not  so  ancient  as  that;  the  statue  is  the  successor  of 
the  original  one  which  was  burned  when  the  Hall  caught  fire  from  the 
fireworks  during  the  great  celebration  of  the  laying  of  the  Atlantic 
Cable  in  August,  1858.  The  Hall  is  built  of  white  marble,  but  the  rear 
wall  is  of  freestone,  for  the  builders  of  that  day  imagined  that  the  city 
would  never  go  beyond  this.  To-day  the  city  limits  are  sixteen  miles 
north.  The  Mayor's  room  is  on  the  first  floor.  Under  one  of  its  windows 
on  the  outside  is  a  tablet  recording:    "Near  this  spot  in  the  presence  of

aj  receive  a  tribute  of  affection  and  sorrow  from  a  half-million  people ;  and 
here  in  1885,  for  a  day  and  a  night,  the  unbroken  lines  passed  reverently 
by  the  bier  of  Grant.  Here  in  1881  rested  the  body  of  the  explorer,  De 
Long,  rescued  from  the  desolation  of  the  Arctic  wastes ;  and  hither,  in  1882, 
from  the  ship  which  had  brought  him  from  the  alien  soil  of  Tunis,  they 
bore  the  remains  of  John  Howard  Payne,  to  the  measured  strains  of  his 
own  "Home,  Sweet  Home." 

Back  of  the  City  Hall  is  the  County  Court  House,  which  was  built 
during  the  Tweed  regime,  and  cost  $12,000,000.  The  bill  for  the  plastering 
was  $3000,000,  and  for  the  furniture  $1000,000.  It  is  a  very  rich  and 
beautiful  specimen  of  Corinthian  architecture,  particularly  the  handsome 
portico  on  Chambers  street,  but  it  would  be  built  for  much  less  money 
now.  The  walk  between  the  City  Hall  and  the  Court  House  is  called 
"Hand-Shaking  Alley,"  so  many  politic'ans  meet  and  greet  one  another 
here.  The  dingy  little  building  east  of  the  Court  House  was  formerly 
the  Criminal  Court,  where  tens  of  thousands  have  awaited  the  verdict 
that  was  to  set  them  free  or  send  them  to  prison. 

Across  Chambers  street  is  the  new  $6,000,000  Hall  of  Records,  in 
which  provision  is  made  for  the  safe  keeping  of  the  deeds  of  all  the  real 
estate  of  Manhattan  Island.  The  building  is  one  of  a  group  which  will  in 
the  future  provide  for  the  city  a  series  of  municipal  buildings  worthy  of  the 
Metropolis.    The  exterior  sculptures  of  the  Hall  by  Bush-Brown  and

Poetry,  Inscription,  Preservation,  Law,  Maternity  and  Heritage;  groups 
of  the  races — Indian,  Dutch,  English,  and  Huguenot — which  have  had  part 
in  the  city's  past;  and  statues  of  twenty-four  men  prominent  in  its 
development. 

In  the  southwest  corner  of  the  Park,  near  Broadway,  stands  the  Mac-

in  memory  of  Nathan  Hale,  a  Captain  of  the  Regular  Army  of  the 
United  States  of  America,  who  gave  his  life  for  his  Country  in  the  City 
of  New  York,  Sept.  22,  1776. 

In  1776.  when  the  American  troops  had  evacuated  New  York  and  were

encamped  on  Harlem  Heights,  Captain  Hale  volunteered  to  enter  the 
British  lines  on  Long  Island  and  secure  for  General  Washington  informa- 
tion as  to  the  strength  and  disposition  of  the  enemy's  forces.  He  was 
arrested,  without  trial  sentenced  to  death  as  a  spy.  denied  the  presence 
of  a  clergyman  or  the  use  of  a  Bible  in  his  last  hours,  arid  the  letter  he  had 
written  to  his  mother  and  sisters  was  destroyed  before  his  face  by  his 
executioner..  In  all  the  annals  of  American  history  it  would  be  difficult  to 
find  a  more  exalted  sentiment  of  patriotism  than  his  dying  words,  set  here 
in  letters  of  enduring  bronze  for  Broadway's  passing  throng  to  read: 

"I  regret  that  I  have  but  one  life  to  lose  for  my  country." 

The  Park  has  always  been  a  common.  A  bronze  tablet  in  the  corridor 
of  the  Post  Office,  erected  by  the  Mary  Washington  Colonial  Chapter  of 
the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution,  records  that  "On  the  common 
of  the  City  of  New  York,  near  where  this  building  now  stands,  there 
stood  from  1766  to  1776  a  liberty  pole  erected  to  commemorate  the  repeal 
of  the  Stamp  Act.  It  was  repeatedly  destroyed  by  the  violence  of  the 
Tories,  and  as  repeatedly  replaced  by  the  Sons  of  Liberty,  who  organized 
a  constant  watch  and  guard.  In  its  defense  the  first  martyr  blood  of  the 
American  Revolution  was  shed  on  Jan.  18,  1770." 

There  are  two  Subway  stations  in  the  Park,  the  City  Hall  Station  and 
the  Brooklyn  Bridge  Station,  which  is  the  largest  on  the  line.  A  tablet 
in  the  pavement  in  front  of  the  City  Hall  commemorates  the  breaking 
of  ground  for  the  tunnel  construction  by  the  Mayor  on  March  24,  1900. 


HALL   OF    RECORDS — CHAMBERS  STREET 


Grace  Cburcb. 


Grace  Church,  set  in  the  bend  at  ioth  street  and  closing  the  vista  from 
the  south,  is  one  of  the  most  familiar  and  most  highly  cherished  of  the 
landmarks  of  Broadway.  It  is  a  beautiful  structure  of  white  limestone, 
with  marble  spire,  in  the  Decorated  Gothic,  and  was  designed  by  James 
Renwick,  the  architect  of  St.  Patrick's  Cathedral.  Clustered  about  the 
church  is  a  group  of  buildings,  which  are  harmonious  with  it  in  design ; 
even  the  high  wall  of  the  business  building  adjoining  has  been  made  to 
comport  with  the  rest,  and  all  these,  with  the  rectory  yard  with  its  lawn  and 
shrubbery,  make  a  picture  very  grateful  to  thousands  of  eyes  every  day. 
The  church  door  is  always  open,  and  to  turn  from  the  bustle  of  Broadway 
into  the  hush  of  the  aisles  is  like  finding  the  shelter  of  a  great  rock  where 
the  uproar  of  the  wind  is  stilled.  The  interior  is  rich  in  sculptured  decora- 
tion, and  the  memorial  windows  are  exquisite  examples  of  stained  glass. 
The  great  chancel  window  has  for  its  subject  the  Te  Dcum;  in  the  trans- 
septs  are  the  Saints,  and  the  Patriarchs  and  Prophets.  The  altar  and 
reredos  were  given  by  Miss  Catherine  L.  Wolfe.  The  porch  is  a  memorial, 
and  so  is  each  one  of  the  ten  bells  of  the  chimes  in  the  tower ;  the  great  bell 
bears  the  name  of  Rev.  Thomas  House  Taylor,  for  thirty-three  years  the 
rector.  The  rectory  is  connected  with  the  church  by  Grace  House,  in 
which  are  the  vestry  and  clergy  rooms  and  a  library  and  reading  room ; 
on  the  south  is  the  Chantry,  where  a  week-day  afternoon  service  is  held. 
Grace  House  and  the  Chantry  were  given  by  Miss  Wolfe.  In  the  rear  is 
the  Grace  Memorial  House,  given  by  Hon.  Levi  P.  Morton,  in  memory  of 
his  wife;  a  day  nursery  for  small  children  is  maintained  here.  In  the 
rectory  yard  the  great  terra  cotta  vase  was  brought  from  Rome,  where  it 
was  discovered  40  feet  below  the  surface  in  excavations  for  St.  Paul's

Church.  The  sun  dial  has  a  pedestal  fashioned  from  two  of  the  pinnacles 
of  Grace  Church  as  first  built  at  Broadway  and  Rector  street  in  1809.  The 
present  edifice  was  completed  in  1846.  A  tablet  in  the  right  entrance  records 
that  the  church  stands  on  ground  which  was  owned  by  Henry  Brevoort 
(died  1841),  who  had  derived  it  in  unbroken  descent  from  the  earliest 
colonists  of  the  New  Netherlands.  It  was  this  Henry  Brevoort  who  in 
1836  prevented  the  cutting  through  of  nth  street  from  Broadway  to  Fourth 
avenue :  his  house  stood  in  the  line  of  the  proposed  street,  and  he  success- 
fully resisted  the  projected  opening.  The  bend  in  Broadway  at  this  point 
was  caused  by  a  deflection  of  the  street  to  meet  the  old-time  junction  of 
the  Bowery  and  the  Bloomingdale  road  at  a  point  now  at  Broadway  and 
17th  street. 

Between  Ninth  and  Tenth  streets  is  Wanamaker's,  and  on  the  block 
below  the  immense  new  Wanamaker  building,  the  largest  department  store 
in  the  city. 


THE  RECTORY  YARD  OF  GRACE  CHURCH. 


Union  Square. 


For  the  pauper  and  the  stranger  dead  there  must  be  potter's  fields.  To 
the  successive  reservations  of  such  burial  places  on  Manhattan  Island 
we  owe  Washington,  Union  and  Madison  squares  and  Bryant  Park.  Each 
of  them  lay  originally  beyond  the  city  limits,  was  overtaken  by  the  growth 
of  the  town,  and  its  use  was  abandoned ;  then  each  in  time  became  a 
public  park  with  trees  and  lawns  and  winding  walks  and  fountains  and 
flowers  and  statues  and  nursemaids  and  children. 

Union  Square  lies  between  Broadway  and  Fourth  avenue.  Fourteenth 
and  Seventeenth  streets.  Broadway  makes  a  bend  here,  and  the  cars  go 
around  a  sharp  curve,  to  which  the  disasters  of  the  early  days  of  the  cable 
system  gave  the  significant  name  of  "Deadman's  Curve."  Here  southeast 
of  the  park  stands  H.  K.  Browne's  bronze  statue  of  Abraham  Lincoln. 
The  curb  bears  the  words  of  the  Gettysburg  speech :  "With  malice  toward 
none,  with  charity  for  all."  Across  the  Square,  the  equestrian  bronze  statue 
of  Washington  (by  the  same  sculptor)  stands  close  by  the  spot  where 
General  Washington  was  received  by  the  citizens  when  he  entered  the 
city  on  its  evacuation  by  the  British,  Nov.  25,  1783.  The  Blackfoot  In- 
dian, Bear  Chief,  when  he  looked  upon  this  statue,  saw  in  Washing- 
ton's outstretched  hand  the  Indian  warrior's  sign  for  "Peace."  Facing 
south  on  Broadway  is  the  statue  of  Lafayette,  which  was  erected  by 
French  residents  in  1876,  with  the  dedication:  "To  the  City  of  New  York. 
France,  in  remembrance  of  sympathy  in  time  of  trial,  1870-71."  The  ref- 
erence is  to  the  period  of  the  Franco-Prussian  War.  Lafayette  is  repre- 
sented as  offering  his  sword  to  America,  1776;  and  his  words  are  engraved 
on  the  pedestal :  "As  soon  as  I  heard  of  American  Independence,  my 
heart  was  enlisted."  The  bronze  statue  is  by  Bartholdi,  of  Statue  of 
Liberty  fame.  In  the  west  of  the  Square  is  the  James  Fountain,  designed 
by  Donndorf,  "made  in  Germany,"  and  given  to  the  city  by  D.  Willis 
James.  It  is  a  much  admired  bronze  group  of  a  mother  and  her  two 
children.  The  fountain  in  the  center  of  the  Square  flowed  for  the  first 
time  Oct.  14.  1842.  on  the  occasion  of  the  Croton  Water  Celebration,  when 
a  procession  seven  miles  long  filed  past  it  in  review  by  Governor  .Seward. 
In  season  there  is  in  the  basin  a  fine  display  of  water  lilies.  Union  Square  is 
a  shopping  center.  Facing  it  on  Broadway  are  office  buildings  and  elegant 
shops.  Fourteenth  street  leads  west  to  the  Fifth  avenue  and  Sixth  avenue 
shopping  districts;  east  to  the  Academy  of  Music  and  Tammany  Hall. 
Tammany  Hall  is  owned  by  the  Tammany  Society,  a  benevolent  organiza- 
tion founded  in  1789.  It  took  the  name  from  Tammany,  a  friendly  and 
popular  chief  of  the  Delaware  tribe  of  Indians ;  and  it  was  this  chief,  who 
gave  to  one  of  the  tribes  for  a  totem  the  tiger,  which  was  afterward  adopted 
by  the  Tammany  Society.  The  Tammany  Hall  General  Committee  is  a 
political  organization  which  occupies  Tammany  Hall  as  headquarters;  it 
is  distinct  from  the  Tammany  Society.

madison  Square. 

Madison  Square  is  in  the  heart  of  New  York.  Its  fJoundaries  are 
Broadway,  here  at  a  most  brilliant  point;  Fifth  and  Madison  avenues, 
names  synonymous  with  wealth  and  fashion,  and  Twenty-third  street, 
the  most  important  crosstown  thoroughfare  in  the  central  part  of  the 
city.  Beautiful  as  a  park,  with  its  trees  and  lawns  and  fountain  and 
statues,  the  Square  is  set  amid  distinguished  surroundings.  On  the  west 
are  the  Fifth  Avenue  Building,  on  the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel  site,  the 
Albemarle  Hotel  and  the  Hoffman  House.  On  the  northeast  the 
Madison  Square  Garden  lifts  its  graceful  tower  357  feet  in  air,  with  the 
gilded  Diana  poised  on  the  pinnacle.  On  the  east  is  the  Appellate  Court 
House,  described  on  a  following  page.  The  new  edifice  of  the  Madison 
Avenue  Presbyterian  Church  (the  pulpit  of  Dr.  Charles  H.  Parkhurst) 
with  its  massive  columned  portico,  tiled  dome  and  gold  lantern  is  in 
architectural  design  and  liberal  use  of  color  a  noteworthy  departure 
from  the  Gothic  style  of  the  old  church,  with  spire  dwarfed  by  the 
surrounding  skyscrapers.  The  Metropolitan  Life's  stately  home  at 
Twenty-third  street  is  one  of  the  largest  office  buildings  in  existence; 
one  should  not  fail  to  see  the  white  marble  court  at  the  Madison  Square 
entrance  and  the  great  central  hall. 

On  the  south,  at  Broadway  and  Twenty-third  street,  is  the  "Flatiron" 
Building,  described  on  a  previous  page.  Across  Broadway  is  the  Hotel 
Bartholdi,  and  adjoining  it  the  American  Art  Galleries.  On  Twenty-sixth 
street,  at  Madison  avenue,  are  the  Society  for  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to 
Animals  and  the  Manhattan  Club,  a  leading  Democratic  organization. 
North  on  Broadway  are  seen  the  lofty  Townsend  and  St.  James  buildings. 

In  the  northeast  corner  of  the  Square  is  Bissell's  bronze  statue  of 
Chester  Alan  Arthur,  Twenty-first  President  of  the  United  States  of 
America.  Vice-President  Arthur  succeeded  to  the  Presidency  after  the 
assassination  of  President  Garfield  in  1881.  In  the  southwest,  near  Twenty- 
third  street,  is  the  statue  of  Roscoe  Conkling,  Senator  from  New  York, 
1867-81.  The  figure  is  of  bronze,  by  Ward,  and  represents  the  orator  in  the 
attitude  so  familiar  to  his  audiences ;  we  may  hear  him  as  when  in  a 
political  convention  he  stilled  the  opposition  uproar  with  the  words, 
"The  shallow  murmur,  but  the  deep  are  dumb."  The  memorial  was  erected 
by  friends  on  the  spot  where  bewildered  and  overcome  in  the  terrible 
blizzard  of  March  12,  1888,  he  fell  exhausted,  and  suffered  exposure  which 
resulted  in  his  death.  Conkling  and  Arthur  were  closely  associated  in 
public  life  and  were  warm  friends;  it  is  a  suggestive  fact  that  the  chance 
circumstance  of  a  winter's  storm  should  have  caused  their  memorials  to 
be  given  place  here  so  near  together. 

The  drinking  fountain  at  the  southeast  corner,  designed  by  Miss  Emma 
Stebbins,  was  given  by  Miss  Catherine  Lorillard  Wolfe,  whose  benefac- 
tions to  New  York's  religious,  educational,  art  and  charitable  objects 
aggregated  $2,000,000. 

The  memorial  of  William  H.  Seward  occupies  a  conspicuous  position 
in  the  southwest  facing  Broadway.  It  is  of  bronze,  by  Randolph  Rogers, 
and  represents  the  statesman  seated  in  a  Senatorial  chair,  with  pen  in  hand. 
Those  who  knew  the  living  Seward  aver  that  the  legs  were  not  the 
prominent  features  here  presented;  on  the  contrary,  he  is  spoken  of  as  a 
man  who  was  "all  head  and  no  legs."    Seward  was  Governor  of  New

York,  United  States  Senator,  and  Secretary  of  State  of  the  United  States 
under  Lincoln. 

The  most  notable  adornment  of  the  Square,  and  the  one  which  ranks I 
as  one  of  the  best  examples  of  contemporary  sculpture  possessed  by  the 
city,  is  the  memorial  of  Admiral  David  Glasgow  Farragut,  by  Augustus, 
St.  Gaudens.  It  stands  in  the  northwest  corner  of  the  Square,  facing  Fifth 
avenue.  The  Admiral  is  represented  as  standing  upon  the  deck  of  his  ship, 
with  field-glass  in  hand,  and  coat-skirt  flying  in  the  wind.  The  sturdy  pose! 
and  erect,  rugged  figure  give  fine  expression  to  the  character  of  the  man 
who  took  the  fleet  past  the  forts  in  Mobile  Bay,  and  "whose  name  will 
ever  stir  like  a  trumpet  the  hearts  of  his  grateful  countrymen."  The 
pedestal,  designed  by  Stanford  White,  is  in  the  form  of  a  bench  with  high] 
curving  back;  in  the  center  is  an  admiral's  sword;  waving  lines  suggest]

he  sea,  and  on  either  side  are  graceful  female  figures  in  low  relief  personi- 
ying  Courage  and  Patriotism.    The  memorial  inscription  reads: 

That  the  memory  of  a  daring  and  sagacious  commander  and  gentle  great-souled 
man,  whose  life  from  childhood  was  given  to  his  country,  but  who  served  her 
supremely  in  the  war  for  the  Union,  186 1-1865,  may  be  preserved  and  honored; 
and  that  they  who  come  after  him  and  who  will  love  him  so  much  may  see  him  as 
he  was  seen  by  friend  and  foe,  his  countrymen  have  set  up  this  monument  A.  D. 
MDCCCLXXXI. 

The  chief  events  of  Farragut's  life  are  outlined  in  the  biographical  in- 
cription,  which  reads : 

Born  near  Knoxville,  Tennessee,  July  5,  180L  Midshipman,  1810.  Battle  of  Essex  and 
'hoebe,  March  28,  1814.  Lieutenant,  1825.  Commander,  1851.  Captain,  1855.  Battle  of 
Tew  Orleans,  April  23,  1862.  Rear-Admiral,  1862  Battle  of  Mobile  Bay,  August  5,  1864. 
rice-Admiral,  December  23,  1864.  First  Admiral  of  the  United  States  of  America,  July  26, 
866.    Died  at  Portsmouth,  New  Hampshire,  August  4,  1870. 

The  statue  was  presented  by  the  Farragut  Memorial  Association.  An 
nteresting  circumstance  of  the  dedication  in  1881  was  the  presence  of  three 
)f  the  sailors  of  the  Hartford.  At  the  moment  of  presentation,  John  H. 
Snowies,  the  sailor  who  lashed  Farragut  to  the  mast  in  >he  battle  of 
Mobile  Bay,  assisted  by  J.  B.  Millner,  who  was  also  on  the  flagship  Hart- 
lord,  drew  aside  the  drapings  from  the  statue ;  and  B.  S.  Osborne,  the  sailor 
vho  hoisted  the  colors  of  the  flagship  as  she  entered  the  engagement,  dis- 
played an  admiral's  flag  as  a  signal  for  an  admiral's  salute  of  seventeen 
juns. 

Opposite  the  Farragut  statue,  in  the  triangular  plot  at  the  parting  of 
Broadway  and  Fifth  avenue,  is  the  Worth  Monument,  erected  by  the 
:ity  in  1857  over  the  tomb  of  Major-General  William  Jenkins  Worth,  a 
nero  of  the  War  of  1812  and  the  Mexican  War.  General  Worth  was  the 
first  to  plant  the  flag  of  the  United  States  on  the  Rio  Grande,  and  the 
first  to  enter  the  City  of  Mexico.    He  died  in  Texas  in  1849;  in  1857  his

remains  were  interred  here.  The  granite  monument  bears  a  bronze  por-' 
trait,  the  legends  Ducit  amor  pat  rice  ("Love  of  country  guides")  andi 
"Honor  the  Brave,"  and  the  names  of  the  battles  in  which  General  Worth 
had  part. 

The  crossing  at  Twenty-third  street  is  one  of  the  most  crowded  and 
difficult  in  the  city.  Here,  where  the  currents  of  Broadway  and  Fifth 
avenue  unite,  and  to  them  is  added  that  of  Twenty-third  street,  the  flood1 
of  New  York  life  flows  at  full  tide.  One  who  has  looked  upon  the  picture 
here  presented— the  incessant  crush  of  business  traffic,  the  stream  of 
equipages  on  Fifth  avenue,  the  throngs  of  shoppers  and  promenaders — 
one  who  has  seen  this  has  seen  New  York. 

Fifth  avenue  is  the  route  of  the  great  civic  and  military  parades,  and 
the  reviewing  stand  is  usually  placed  opposite  the  Worth  Monument.  It 
was  here  that  Admiral  Dewey  reviewed  the  parade  in  his  honor  on  Sept. 
30,,  1899;  and  nearly  in  front  of  the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel  was  found  the  ideal 
site  for  the  Dewey  Arch,  which  was  erected  for  that  occasion. 


Cbe  lttadison  Square  Garden. 

The  Madison  Square  Garden  occupies  the  block  bounded  by  Fourth 
and  Madison  avenues  and  Twenty-sixth  and  Twenty-seventh  streets.  Its 
dimensions  are  465  x  200  feet,  and  it  is  the  largest  amusement  building  in 
America.    It  was  completed  in  1890  at  a  cost  of  $3,000,000. 

The  structure  is  popularly  regarded  as  the  most  beautiful  piece  of 
architecture  in  the  city;  if  by  any  this  distinction  shall  be  denied  it,  we  may 
still  say  for  it  that  by  reason  of  its  beauty  and  the  advantage  of  its  situa- 
tion it  is  the  one  creation  which  gives  the  most  pleasure  to  the  greatest 
number  of  people,  whether  we  see  it  by  day,  the  tower  rising  against  the 
blue  sky  and  the  finial  Diana  glorified  by  the  sun ;  or  when  illumined  by 
night,  the  graceful  lines  of  the  tower  are  half-disclosed  and  half-suggested, 
and  Diana  reveals  herself  to  us  in  the  radiance  of  electric  light.  > 

The  building  material  is  of  pale  yellow  brick  with  decorations  in  white 
terra-cotta.  On  the  Madison  avenue  front  and  extending  on  either  side 
is  an  arcade  whose  arches  rest  on  pillars  of  polished  marble.  A  colonnade 
with  polished  marble  pillars  extends  around  the  top  story;  and  there  are 
cupolas,  domes,  towers  and  gilded  finials.  The  finest  feature  of  all  is  the 
tower  which  springs  from  the  Twenty-sixth  street  front,  rising  249  feet 
with  unbroken  lines,  and  then  by  a  succession  of  belfry  stages  of  diminish- 
ing -i/e  tapt  ring  to  the  pinnacle  upon  which  rests  the  shining  figure  of 
Diana  with  dying  draperies  and  crescent  bow,  356  feet  above  the  sidewalk. 
The  tower  is  an  adaptation  (but  not  a  copy)  of  the  Giralda  in  Seville.  The 
Diana,  modeled  by  Augustus  St.  Gaudcns.  is  of  copper  gilded,  13  feet  high. 
The  statue  is  a  weather  vane,  and  rests  upon  ball  bearings  (forty  polished 
steel  balls  about  the  si/e  of  billiard  balls),  which  enable  the  figure  to  turn 
readily,  tin-  arrows  always  pointing  into  the  wind.  Electric  lights  are  SO 
disposed  as  t<>  illuminate  the  figure  at  night. 

The  Garden  contains  a  vast  amphitheater,  concert  room,  theater,  roof 
garden  and  cafe,  and  there  are  offices  and  studios  in  the  towers.  The 
amphitheater  ifl  300  X  200  feet  and  80  feet  in  height.   The  arena  floor,  268  x

METROPOLITAN  LIFE  BUILDING — MADISON  SQUARE. 


The  building,  200  X  425  feet,  occupies  the  entire  block  between  Madison  and  Fourth 
venues  and  Twenty-third  and  Twenty-fourth  streets.  Total  of  cubical  feet  in  building,

122   feet,   is  surrounded 
by   tiers   of   boxes  and 
seats  with  balconies  and 
galleries,  which  have  a 
permanent  seating  capac- 
ity of  6.000.    This  may 
be  increased  by  using  the 
arena  floor  to  13,000,  with 
standing  room  in  addi- 
tion.  An  audience  of  14,- 
000  heard  Grover  Cleve- 
land here  in  1892.  The 
Garden    is    lighted  by 
7,000  incandescent  lights. 
When    the    domes  and 
pinnacles    of    the  roof 
and     the     arches  and 
balconies    of    the  tower 
are  illuminated,  and  the 
Diana  stands  out  against 
the  sky,  the  spectacle  is 
one  of  the  most  enchant- 
ing  of  the   New  York 
night. 

The  Garden  is  the  place 
of   great    meetings  and 
expositions    and  enter- 
tainments.     Here  have 
been    held    the  Horse 
Show,  Dog  Show.  Poul- 
try   Show,  Sportsmen's 
Show,  American  Institute 
Fair,    Barnum's  Circus, 
Arion  Ball,  political  gath- 
erings  and   mass  meet- 
ings.   The  tower  is  open 
to  visitors  by  the  elevator 
on   Twenty-sixth  street, 
admission  25  cents,  and 
affords     a  magnificent 
view  of  the  city  with  its 
encircling    waters,  from 
the  Narrows  on  the  south 
to   the   stretches  of  the 
Hudson  beyond  Grant's 
Tomb  on  the  north,  and 
from  the  distant  hills  of

Cbe  Appellate  Court  Bouse. 


The  Court  House  of  the  Appellate  Division  of  the  Supreme  Court  oi 
the  City  of  New  York  is  on  the  east  of  Madison  Square  at  Madison  avenue 
and  Twenty-fifth  street.  It  was  completed  in  1900  at  a  cost,  including  the 
furnishing,  of  $750,000.  The  exterior  is  decorated  with  sculptures,  and  the 
interior  is  rich  in  marbles  and  mural  paintings. 

The  caryatides,  by  T.  S.  Clarke,  which  support  the  cornice  of  the 
Madison  avenue  front  represent  the  Four  Seasons.  The  group  above 
(by  Karl  Bitter)  represents  Peace.  The  statues  on  the  pedestals  of  the 
balustrade  are  of  the  Great  Law  Givers:  Alfred,  Confucius,  Justinian, 
Lycurgus,  Mahomet,  Manu  Vaivasvata,  Moses,  St.  Louis,  Solon, 
Zoroaster. 

Flanking  the  entrance  on  Twenty-fifth  street  are  two  large  seated 
statues  of  Wisdom  and  Force,  by  F.  W.  Ruckstuhl.  The  pedestals  bear 
the  inscriptions: 

Every  law  not  based  on  wisdom  is  a  menace  to  the  State. 
We  must  not  use  force  till  just  laws  are  defied. 

The  bas-relief  of  the  pediment  (by  C.  H.  Niehaus)  represents  the 
Triumph  of  Law  over  Anarchy;  and  above  is  a  group  (by  D.  C.  French) 
symbolizing  Justice.  Reclining  on  the  window  pediments  are  figures  of 
Morning,  Noon,  Evening,  Night,  by  M.  M.  Schwartzott. 

The  entrance  hall  has  a  wainscoting  of  Sienna  marble  and  pilasters  of  the 
same  material,  with  bronze  gold  capitals.  The  frieze  spaces  are  filled  with 
paintings,  and  the  ceiling  is  modeled  in  two  shades  of  gold.  The  Court 
Room  is  treated  in  the  same  manner.  The  bench,  screen  and  dais  are  of 
dark  oak,  very  richly  carved.  The  stained  glass  dome  and  windows  are 
inscribed  with  the  names  of  these  eminent  jurists:  Butler,  Choate, 
Clinton,  Fish,  Hamilton,  Jay,  Kent,  Legare,  Livingston,  Marcy,  Marshall, 
O'Conor,  Ogden,  Pinckney,  Shaw,  Spencer,  Story,  Taney,  Van  Buren 
Webster.  -  The  mural  paintings  of  the  two  apartments  are  symbolical  and 
allegorical.  The  following  description  of  the  series  is  adapted  from  one 
published  by  the  architect  of  the  building: 

In  the  Entrance  Hall  the  frieze  on  the  north  wall,  facing  the  entrance 
(by  H.  S.  Mowbray),  represents  the  Transmission  of  the  Law.  The  subject 
is  illustrated  by  eight  groups  in  the  following  order:  Mosaic,  Egyptian, 
Greek,  Roman,  Byzantine,  Norman,  Common  Law  and  Modern  Law, 
representing  distinct  periods  that  have  had  their  influence  on  our  own. 
The  groups  are  united  in  each  case  by  an  allegorical  winged  figure  to 
represent  their  transmission  from  one  age  to  another. 

The  frieze  on  the  right-hand  side,  on  the  easterly  wall  of  the  entrance 
hall  (by  Robert  Reid),  represents  Justice,  supported  by  the  Guardians  of 
the  Law  with  sword  and  fasces.  She  gives  Peace  and  Prosperity  to  the  Arts 
and  Sciences.  She  holds  the  symbols  of  the  Law,  sword,  book  and  scales. 
Peace  is  followed  by  Education  teaching  the  youth,  the  book  being 
lighted  by  a  lamp  held  by  Religion.    Prosperity  is  followed  by  Drama

(Tragedy  holding  the  mask  of  Comedy),  and  Music  with  harp.  The 
panel  on  the  south  wall  is  the  same  subject  continued.  From  the  left,  in 
order,  are  Poetry,  Painting,  Sculpture.  Architecture  and. Fame. 

The  frieze  to  the  left,  on  the  westerly  wall  (by  W.  L.  Metcalf),  repre- 
sents Justice.  The  two  lunettes  between  the  entrance  doors  on  the  southerly 
wall  (by  C.  Y.  Young)  represent  Law  and  Equity. 

In  the  Court  Room  the  central  panel  (by  H.  O.  Walker)  represents 
Wisdom,  attended  by  Learning,  Experience,  Humility  and  Love ;  and  by 
Faith,  Patience,  Doubt  and  Inspiration.  The  figure  of  Wisdom  is  intended 
to  personify  Biblical  or  spiritual  wisdom.  The  figure  of  Love  is  meant  to 
carry  out  the  sentiment  of  the  figure  of  Wisdom.  The  panel  to  the 
right  (by  E.  H.  Blashfield)  represents  The  Powers  of  the  Law.  The 
panel  to  the  left  (by  Edward  Simmons)  represents  Justice  of  the  Law 
The  two  frieze  panels  to  the  right  and  left  (by  George  W.  Maynard), 
represent  the  seals  of  the  City  and  State.  The  long  frieze  on  the  west 
wall,  behind  the  dais  of  the  Justices  (by  Kenyon  Cox)  represents  gener- 
ally the  Reign  of  Law.  The  small  frieze  panels  between  the  pilasters  and 
the  windows  (by  Joseph  Lauber)  represent  Moderation,  Veneration,  Per- 
spicuity. Eloquence.  Reticence,  Research,  Unity,  Fortitude.  Justice,  Truth, 
Philosophy,  Courage,  Patriotism.  Logic,  Knowledge  and  Prudence.  The 
four  end  panels  represent  the  four  Cardinal  Virtues.

Fifth  Avenue  is  New  York's  fashionable  thoroughfare,  famed  for  its 
costly  residences  and  the  people  who  live  in  them,  its  hotels,  clubs, 
churches  and  libraries,  and  the  brilliant  social  display  which  gives  to  the 
street  its  dominant  air.  Beginning  at  Washington  Square  on  the  south,  it 
extends  north  six  miles,  past  the  Central  Park  to  the  Harlem  Riven 

Stages  ply  between  the  Square  and  Eighty-ninth  street,  and  afford  a 
convenient  means  of  seeing  the  Avenue.  Some  of  the  stages  start  from 
Bleecker  street  and  West  Broadway  (where  there  is  a  station  of  the  Sixth 
avenue  elevated  railroad),  and  if  we  begin  the  trip  at  this  point  we  shall 
find  a  marked  contrast  between  the  surroundings  south  of  the  Square  and 
those  north  of  it.  A  long  time  ago,  when  the  Potter's  Field  was  at 
the  present  Madison  Square,  complaint  was  made  that  the  pauper  funerals 
marred  the  enjoyment  of  the  pleasure-seekers  on  what  was  the  fashionable 
drive  of  the  day,  and  so  the  Potter's  Field  was  removed  to  the  plot  of 
meadow  which  in  after  years,  when  a  hundred  thousand  paupers  had  been 
buried  beneath  its  turf,  became  Washington  Square.  Ever  since,  the 
Square  has  answered  the  purpose  for  which  it  was  then  employed,  to 
screen  from  the  sight  of  Fifth  avenue  certain  features  of  the  town  which 
polite  society  does  not  wish  to  see.  To  go  from  the  upper  side  of  New 
York  life  to  the  nether,  one  has  only  to  walk  across  Washington  Square. 

Washington  Square  has  a  statue  of  th'e  Italian  patriot  Giuseppe 
Garibaldi,  presented  by  Italian  residents  of  the  United  States.  A  bronze 
bust  erected  by  engineers  of  America  and  Europe  commemorates  Alex- 
ander L.  Holley  as  "foremost  among  those  whose  genius  and  energy 
established  in  America  and  improved  throughout  the  world  the  manu- 
facture of  Bessemer  steel."  A  conspicuous  feature  of  the  Square's  sur- 
roundings is  the  Judson  Memorial  Baptist  Church,  its  campanile  sur- 
mounted by  a  cross,  which  is  illuminated  at  night  and  makes  a  pretty 
picture  seen  through  the  Washington  Arch.  The  large  building  east  of  the 
Square  belongs  to  the  New  York  University,  which  has  here  its  Schools 
of  Law  and  Pedagogy. 

The  Washington  Arch,  spanning  the  drive  at  the  beginning  of  Fifth 
avenue,  is  a  perpetuation  of  the  one  designed  by  Stanford  White  for  the 
celebration  in  1889  of  the  centennial  of  Washington's  Inauguration  as  first 
President.  It  is  of  white  marble,  77  feet  in  -height,  and  has  a  span  of  30 
feet.  Its  cost  of  $128,000  was  defrayed  by  popular  subscription.  The 
words  from  Washington's  Inaugural  Address  are  engraved  upon  it:  "Let 
us  raise  a  standard  to  which  the  wise  and  honest  can  repair,  The  event 
is  in  the  hands  of  God." 

The  aristocratic  mansions  on  the  north  occupy  part  of  the  Randall  farm, 
which  in  1801  Capt.  Robert  Richard  Randall  bequeathed  for  a  Snug

Harbor  ior  superannuated  sailors.  The  Harbor  is  situated  on  Staten 
Island,  and  is  still  supported  by  the  old  farm,  which,  extending  north  to 
Tenth  street  and  east  to  Fourth  avenue,  yields  a  rental  income  of 
$500,000  a  year.  These  North  Washington  Square  houses  have  about  them 
a  fine  flavor  of  yesterday,  and  preserve  an  old-fashioned  air  which  ac- 
centuates their  dignity  as  conservers  of  the  old-time  gentility.  This  small 
section  at  the  beginning  of  the  Avenue  has  maintained  a  residential 
character  and  exclusiveness  of  which  the  part  just  north  has  been  robbed 
by  the  encroachment  of  business.  The  Judge  Building  at  16th  street, 
the  Constable  at  18th,  on  the  site  of  the  old  Belmont  mansion,  and  the 
Methodist  Book  Concern  and  Presbyterian  buildings  at  20th  street  are 
significant  of  the  character  of  this  part  of  the  Avenue  as  a  business 
district. 


FIFTH  AVENUE. 


79 


At  23d  street  the  Avenue  crosses  Broadway  and  borders  Madison 
Square.  (The  Square  is  described  in  another  chapter.)  On  the  right  of 
the  avenue  at  23d  street  is  the  huge  Flatiron  building,  described  else- 
where. On  the  left  is  the  Fifth  Avenue  Building,  and  the  vista  of  Broad- 
way stretches  away  to  the  north. 

At  25th  street  the  Farragut  statue  is  on  the  right  and  the  Worth 
monument  on  the  left.  The  building  on  the  lower  side  of  26th  street  was 
formerly  Delmonico's.  At  27th  street  is  the  Victoria  Hotel,  belonging 
to  the  Paran  Stevens  estate,  and  on  the  northwest  corner  the  Reform 
Club;  at  28th  the  Knickerbocker  apartments;  at  29th  the  Calumet  Club 
on  the  southeast,  and  the  Marble  Collegiate  Church.  At  30th  street  is 
the  Holland  House;  at  No.  319  the  Knickerbocker  Club,  and  extending 
from  33d  to  34th  the  Waldorf-Astoria. 

The  Waldorf-Astoria,  an  impressive  and  picturesque  structure  in  the  German 
Renaissance  style,  is  the  largest  and  most  luxurious  hotel  in  the  world.  It  was  built 
and  is  owned  by  William  Waldorf  Astor  and  Colonel  John  Jacob  Astor.  "The  actual 
cost,"  says  the  New  York  Sun,  "has  never  been  made  public,  but  it  is  estimated  at 
about  $12,000,000.  When  it  was  projected  almost  every  one  said  it  could  not  be  made 
to  pay.  Yet,  to-day,  it  is  a  very  profitable  property.  It  is  hard  to  imagine  a  house 
with  forty  magnificent  public  rooms,  more  than  1,300  guests'  rooms,  and  accommoda- 
tions for  between  1,400  and  1,500  people,  being  practically  filled  all  the  time,  but  these 
figures  represent  the  Waldorf-Astoria's  accommodations,  and  it  is  constantly  crowded. 

Opposite  the  Waldorf-Astoria  is  the  white  marble  building  of  the 
Knickerbocker  Trust  Company;  next  to  it  ^Eolian  Hall.  On  the  east, 
34th  to  35th  streets,  is  the  Altman  store.  At  36th  street  is  the  Gorham 
Company,  and  at  37th  street  Tiffany's. 

Murray  Hill  begins  at  34th  street.  The  district  so  designated,  in- 
cluding the  Avenue  and  the  side  streets,  was  long  the  most  fashionable 
residence  section  of  New  York. 

The  name  was  derived  from  the  farm  of  Robert  Murray,  a  Pennsylvania  Quaker, 
who  came  here  before  the  Revolution,  and  whose  house,  "Inclenberg,"  was  on  the 
Boston  High  Road,  at  the  present  intersection  of  Thirty-sixth  street  and  Madison 
avenue,  one  block  east  from  Fifth  avenue.  The  Murrays  are  remembered  also  for 
a  signal  service  to  the  American  troops  in  1776.     On  Sept.  15,  1776,  Washington's

forces  being  in  retreat  from  the  lower  part 
of  the  city,  and  the  British  seeking  to 
intercept  them,  General  Howe  and  his 
staff  halted  at  "Inclenberg"  to  inquire 
how  long  since  the  Americans  had  passed. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  it  was  only  ten 
minutes,  but  the  good  old  Quaker  lady 
assured  the  British  officers  that  so  much 
time  had  elapsed  that  pursuit  was  hope- 
less; and  the  day  being  insufferably  hot, 
she  invited  them  to  alight  and  refresh 
themselves.  Then  with  cake  and  wine 
and  wit  she  entertained  them  and  de- 
tained them  two  hours,  during  which 
time  the  Americans  made  good  their  re- 
treat to  Harlem  Heights.  A  son  of  these 
Murrays  of  Murray  Hill  was  Lindlej- 
]\rurray,  who  published  a  famous  "Gram- 
mar of  the  English  Language"  in  1795,  and  of  whom  it  is  often  colloquially  said  that 
some  lapse  of  speech  "would  make  Lindley  Murray  turn  in  his  grave." 

At  39th  street  is  the  Union  League  Club,  organized  by  Republicans 
in  1863  to  assist  the  Union  cause.  It  is  perhaps  the  New  York  club  which 
has  the  widest  national  reputation.  It  is  one  of  the  largest  in  the  city, 
with  a  membership  of  1,800.  The  Queen  Anne  club  house  cost  $400,000. 
'  Between  40th  and  42d  streets  is  the  site  of  the  old  Croton  Reservoir, 
where  the  New  York  Public  Library  is  building.  West  is  Bryant  Park, 
much  resorted  to  by  nurse  maids  and  children.  It  has  a  bust  of  Washington 
Irving  and  a  statue  of  Dr.  J.  Marion  Sims,  paid  for  by  dollar  contribu- 
tions from  10,000  of  the  great  surgeon's  patients  and  friends. 

42d  street  leads  east  to  the  Grand  Central  Station,  and  the  Manhattan 
and  Belmont  hotels.  The  northwest  corner  is  an  office  building,  one  of 
many  which  give  a  new  character  to  this  district.  The  Temple  Emanu-El 
at  43d  street  is  one  of  the  largest  Jewish  synagogues  in  the  city,  and  is 
regarded,  without  and  within,  as 
a  fine  example  of  Saracenic  ar- 
chitecture. West  of  the  Avenue 
in  43d  street  is  the  Century  Club. 
On  the  northeast  coiner  of  44th 
street  is  Delmonico's,  and  di- 
agonally across  from  it  is  Sher- 
ry's. Delmonico's  is  the  most 
famous  restaurant  in  America, 
and  one  of  the  best  known  in  the 
world.  Sherry's  is  a  younger 
establishment  of  the  same  char- 
acter, and  each  is  the  scene  of 
many  social  functions — dinners, 
receptions,  society  debuts  and 
balls. 

"Delmonico  and  Brothers,"  records 
Mr.  Chas.  H.  Haswell,  "opened  a 
coffee,  cake  and  confectionery  shop  in 
the  year  1828  at  No.  23  William  street, 

in  a  single  room,  in  which  they  and  DELMONICO'S.

the  female  members  of  their  family  dispensed  bon-bons,  coftee,  liquor,  pat6s 
and  confections."  In  1842  John  Delmonico,  then  the  head  of  the  house,  died  ot 
apoplexy,  caused  by  his  excitement  at  firing  at  a  deer;  and  the  "bereft"  but 
thrifty  family  caused  to  be  printed  this  notice:  "A  CARD:  The  widow,  brother 
and  nephew  Lorenzo  of  the  late  much  respected  John  Delmonico  tender  their  heartfelt 
thanks  to  the  friends,  Benevolent  societies  and  Northern  Liberty  Fire  Engine  Com- 
pany, who  accompanied  his  remains  to  his  last  home.  The  establishment  will  be 
reopened  to-day,  under  the  same  firm  of  Delmonico  Brothers,  and  no  pains  of  the 
bereft  family  will  be  spared  to  give  general  satisfaction.  Restaurant,  bar-room,  and 
private  dinners,  No.  2  South  William  Street;  furnished  rooms  No.  76  Broad  Street,  as 
usual." 

In  44th  street  west  of  the  Avenue  are  the  Harvard,  Yale,  St.  Nicholas, 
Twelfth  Night,  and  New  York  Yacht  Clubs,  and  Bar  Association. 

The  Windsor  Arcade  site  between  46th  and  47th  was  occupied  by  the 
ill-fated  Windsor  Hotel,  which  was  destroyed  by  fire  in  1899  with  a  terrible 
loss  of  life.  The  house  on  the  northeast  corner  of  47th  street,  No.  579,  is 
the  home  of  Miss  Helen  Gould.  In  No.  586  lives  Mrs.  Henry  B.  Plant; 
No.  591,  Robert  Goelet ;  No.  597,  Mrs.  Roswell  P.  Flower;  No.  608 
(southeast  corner  of  49th  street),  Cornelius  Vanderbilt,  Jr.  At  No.  617 
is  the  Democratic  Club,  the  social  headquarters  of  the  leaders  of  Tam- 
many Hall.  At  50th  street  is  the  Buckingham  Hotel.  St.  Patrick's 
Cathedral  occupies  the  block  from  50th  to  51st  street ;  in  the  rear  of 
the  Cathedral  is  the  Achiepiscopal  Residence,  the  home  of  the  Archbishop. 
The  Union  Club  has  a  sumptuous  new  home  on  the  corner,  fronting  on 
51st  street. 

St.  Patrick's  Cathedral  is  the  largest  and  most  beautiful  church  edifice  in 
America  and  holds  high  rank  as  an  example  of  the  decorated  and  geometric  style  of 
Gothic  architecture  to  which  belong  the  cathedrals  of  Rheims,  Amiens  and  Cologne,  on 
the  Continent;  and  the  naves  of  York,  Westminster  and  Exeter  in  England.  The 
architect  was  James  Renwick,  who  designed  the  Smithsonian  Institution  in  W  ashington. 
The  corner-stone  was  laid  by  Archbishop  Hughes,  August  15,  1858,  in  the  presence 
of  100,000  people;  and  the  edifice  was  dedicated  May  25,  1879,  by  Cardinal  McCloskey, 
with  thirty-six  Archbishops  and  Bishops  and  more  than  450  priests  participating  in  the 
rites.  The  material  above  the  granite  base  course  is  white  marble  from  Westchester 
county,  N.  Y.,  and  Lee,  Mass.  The  cost  of  the  land  was  over  $60,000,  and  of  the 
building  $2,000,000.*-  The  seating  capacity  of  the  pews  is  2,500.  The  plan  is  cruciform, 
The  exterior  length  is  332  feet,  breadth  174  feet,  towers  at  base  32  feet,  height  of  central 
gable  on  the  Fifth  avenue  front  156  feet,  height  of  spires  330  feet.  Interior  height  306 
feet,  breadth  of  nave  96  feet  (with  chapels  120  feet),  length  of  transept  140  feet.  The 
interior  is  divided  into  a  nave,  two  transepts  and  a  choir  or  sanctuary.  The  roof  is 
supported  by  massive  white  marble  columns,  clustered,  35  feet  in  height;  the  arches 
between  the  columns  rising  to  a  height  of  54  feet,  and  the  ceiling  of  the  center  arch 
to  a  height  of  77  feet.    The  ceilings  are  groined  and  richly  moulded. 

Of  the  seventy  windows  thirty-seven  are  figured,  their  subjects  drawn  from 
Scripture  and  the  lives  of  the  saints;  and  twenty  more  are  filled  with  cathedral  stained 
glass.    The  principal  one  of  the  figured  series  is  the  six-bayed  window  of  St.  Patrick. 

The  High  Altar,  at  the  east  end  of  the  central  aisle,  has  a  reredos  33  feet  in  width 
and  50  feet  in  height,  of  carved  Poitiers  stone;  in  the  center  tower  of  the  reredos 
is  a  statue  of  Christ,  and  in  the  flanking  towers  are  statues  of  St.  Peter  and  St. 
Paul.  The  altar  is  of  purest  Italian  marble  inlaid  with  alabaster  and  precious  marbles. 
The  front  is  divided  into  panels  representing  in  bas-reliefs  the  Last  Supper,  the 
Carrying  of  the  Cross,  the  Agony  in  the  Garden;  and  niches  contain  statues  of  the 
Four  Evangelists.  The  altar  tabernacle  is  of  marble  richly  decorated,  "and  has  a 
door  of  gilt  bronze  set  with  emeralds  and  garnets.  The  high  altar  was  a  gift  from 
Cardinal  McCloskey,  who,  dying  in  1885,  was  entombed  beneath  it;  and  here  also 
lies  Archbishop  Hughes.  Under  the  floor  of  the  sanctuary  near  the  high  altar  is  a 
crypt  for  the  entombing  of  the  Archbishops  of  New  York.  Other  altars  are  the 
Altar  of  the  Blessed  Virgin,  of  French  oak,  at  the  eastern  end  of  the  north  aisle;  the 


st.  Patrick's  cathedral.

north  transept,  and  St.  Joseph's  Altar, 
of  bronze  and  mosaic,  in  the  front  of 
the  west  wall  of  the  sacristy.  The  four 
altars  cost  $100,000. 

The  Archbishop's  Throne  is  of 
carved  French  oak,  and  has  a  mag- 
nificent Gothic  canopy.  the  pulpit, 
which  is  an  elaborate,  costly  and  beauti- 
ful creation  of  marble,  of  the  same  ar- 
chitectural style  as  the  Cathedral,  was 
designed  by  Mr.  Renwick  and  executed 
in  Italy,  and  was  given  by  the  clergy 
of  the  diocese  as  a  memorial  of  the 
Golden  Jubilee  or  fiftieth  anniversary 
(January  12,  1884)  of  Cardinal  Mc- 
Closkey's  ordination  to  the  Priesthood. 

The  Chapel  of  Our  Lady,  which  is 
under  construction,  at  a  cost  of  a  quar- 
ter-million dollars,  will  complete  the 
original  design  of  the  Cathedral. 

The  Cathedral  is  open  throughout  the 
day. 

On  the  west  side,  between  51st 
and  52d  streets,  are  the  brown 
stone  residences  known  as  the 
Vanderbilt  twin-houses.  In  the 
lower  one,  No.  640,  owned  by 
George  Vanderbilt,  lives  Henry  C. 
Frick:  and  in  the  other  one,  No. 
642,  Willam  D.  Sloane.  On  the  upper  side  of  52d  street  is  the  residence  of 
W.  K.  Vanderbilt.  At  53d  street  is  the  ultra-fashionable  St.  Thomas's 
Church  (Protestant  Episcopal,  burned  in  1905;  to  be  rebuilt  at  a  cost  of 
$500,000).  On  the  lower  side  of  54th  street  are  the  two  houses  (Nos.  680 
and  684)  built  for  daughters  of  Wm.  H.  Vanderbilt,  Mrs.  W.  Seward 
Webb  and  Mrs.  H.  McK.  Twombley. 

On  the  upper  side  of  54th  street  is  the  University  Club.  The  mem- 
bership is  composed  of  graduates  of  universities  and  colleges. 

The  sculptured  seals  of  eighteen  colleges  are  employed  for  the  exterior  decorations. 
On  the  Avenue  side  in  the  lower  tier  are  the  seals  of  Williams,  the  Naval  Academy, 
West  Point,  and  Brown;  in  the  upper  tier,  Cornell,  Hamilton,  Dartmouth  and  New 
York  University.  On  the  54th  street  front,  in  the  lower  tier,  Columbia,  Yale,  Harvard, 
Princeton;  and  in  the  upper  tier,  the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York,  Trinity, 
Rutgers,  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  Union,  and  Amherst. 

In  54th  street,  in  the  first  house  on  the  lower  side,  lives  John  D. 
Rockefeller,  President  of  the  Standard  Oil  Company.  The  Fifth  Avenue 
Presbyterian  Church  at  55th  street  was  for  many  years  the  pulpit  of  Dr. 
John  Hall.   On  the  east  is  the  Hotel  St.  Regis,  on  the  west  the  Hotel 

Gotham. 

At  57th  street,  on  the  four  corners  respectively  are  the  homes  of 
Mrs.  Cornelius  Vanderbilt,  N.W.  Herman  Oelrichs,  N.  E. 
Harry  Payne  Whitney,  S.W.  Mrs.  C.  P.  Huntington,  S.E. 

The  Whttwiy  Housi,  now  occupied  by  Harry  Payne  Whitney,  was  formerly  owned 
by  his  father,  William  C.  Whitney,  Secretary  of  the  Navy  under  Cleveland.    It  was

here  that  President  Cleveland  received  Li  Hung  Chang;  and  the  story  went  that  Earl 
Li  was  so  impressed  by  the  magnificence  of  the  spacious  interior  that  he  found  it 
difficult  to  believe  that  this  was  simply  a  private  house.  The  Oelrichs  House 
was  formerly  owned  by  Mrs.  Paran  Stevens.  The  Huntington  House,  which  has 
the  exterior  of  a  penal  institution,  is  of  rich  construction  within;  there  are  an 
onyx  and  statuary  marble  staircase  that  cost  $190,000,  a  grand  ball  room  and  other 
costly  features.  The  house  was  built  by  the  late  C.  P.  Huntington,  at  a  cost  of 
$2,000,000.  For  a  long  time  after  it  was  finished  Mr.  Huntington  hesitated  to  move 
into  it,  because,  as  was  explained,  he  was  superstitious  enough  to  believe  the  old

saying  that  it  is  not  safe  for  an  old  man  to  move  into  a  new  house,  for  it  is  likely 
that  he  will  soon  die  in  it.  Not  until  after  his  adopted  daughter  had  been  married 
in  the  house  would  be  consent  to  live  in  it.    Mr.  Huntington  died  in  1900. 

The  Cornelius  Vanderbilt  House  is  for  size  and  grandeur  the  most  notable  on 
the  Avenue.  It  extends  from  57th  to  58th  streets,  and  has  a  frontage  on  the  side 
streets  of  125  feet.  The  style  is  that  of  the  Chateau  de  Boise  in  France;  and  the 
exterior  effect  is  much  enhanced  by  the  garden  which  borders  the  Avenue  side  and  by 
the  porte-cochere  on  the  58th  street  end.  The  main  entrance  is  on  58th  street,  and  a  feature 
of  the  interior  is  the  great  hall,  finished  in  highly  carved  Caen  stone,  42  feet  broad, 
50  feet  long,  and  extending  to  the  top  of  the  house,  with  a  winding  staircase  also  of 
Caen  stone.  The  rooms  on  the  first  floor  include  the  large  salon  decorated  in  the 
style  of  Louis  XV.,  a  smaller  salon  in  the  style  of  Louis  XVI. ,  the  library  finished  in 
mahogany,  the  grand  ball  room,  which  occupies  a  space  64  by  50  feet  and  is  40  feet 
high,  and  dining,  breakfast,  and  smoking  rooms.  The  house  has  been  described  as 
"a  veritable  palace,  being  built  on  the  plan  of  those  in  Europe,  and  its  grand  mag- 
nificence becomes  apparent  only  on  fete  occasions.  The  main  floor,  adapted  especially 
for  entertainment,  with  its  grand  stone  hall,  its  great  ball  room,  which  is  said  to  out- 
shine in  elegance  and  grandeur  the  state  apartments  of  royalty,  and  its  series  of 
large  connecting  rooms,  discloses  an  arrangement  architecturally  perfect  and  harmoni- 
ous. The  elaborate  carvings,  decorations  and  furnishings  have  been  made  and 
selected  by  experts  in  the  various  branches  of  architecture  and  decoration,  with  a 
view  to  artistic  effect  and  elegance,  and  the  result  is  a  vast  floor  of  magnificent  state- 
hness."    Cornelius  Vanderbilt  died  in  1899. 

At  58th  and  59th  streets  is  the  Plaza,  an  open  square  which  is  re- 
nurkaljle  for  its  architectural  and  social  surroundings.  On  the  east  are 
the  great  hotels  Savoy  and  New  Netherlands;  on  the  south  the  Cornelius 
Vanderhilt  house;  on  the  west  is  the  new  Plaza  Hotel,  and  on  the 
north  Central  Park.  The  principal  entrance  to  the  Park  is  here;  this 
is  the  town's  fashionable  drive,  and  in  the  afternoon  we  shall  find  here

THE  PLAZA. 

a  constant  stream  of  equipages  coming  and  going,  and  crowds  of 
pedestrians  and  promenaders  on  the  Avenue  and  in  the  Park. 

The  Metropolitan  Club's  House  at  60th  street  occupies  a  site  which 
was  once  owned  by  the  Duchess  of  Marlborough.  The  building,  of  white 
marble,  with  Numidian  marble  halls,  cost  with  the  ground  $1,500,000,  and 
is  one  of  the  finest  club  houses  in  the  world.  On  account  of  the 
enormous  fortunes  possessed  by  its  members,  the  club  is  known  as  the 
"Millionaires'  Club." 

Next  to  the  Metropolitan  Club  is  the  residence  of  Elbridge  T.  Gerry, 
founder  of  the  Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to  Children.  Mr. 
Gerry's  is  the  first  one  in  the  long  succession  of  palatial  residences  front- 
ing the  Park  above  60th  street,  which  constitute  what  is  popularly  called 
"Millionaires'  Row."  They  are  houses  remarkable  for  size,  diversified 
style,  and  the  impressive  architectural  effect  of  the  exteriors;  and  yet  more 
for  the  costliness,  lavish  luxury  and  magnificence  of  the  interiors.  Among 
the  many  notable  residences  we  have  space  to  mention  but  a  few. 

At  65th  street  the  double  house  was  the  home  of  Mrs.  William  Astor 
and  Colonel  John  Jacob  Astor;  and  at  66th  street  the  house  of  H.  O.

Havemeyer.  Colonel  Oliver  H.  Payne  lives  in  Xo.  S52.  Xo.  855  is 
Perry  Belmont's,  and  Xo.  856  H.  O.  Armour's.  The  house  on  the  north 
corner  of  67th  street  is  George  Gould  s.  Isaac  Stern's  double  house. 
No.  858,  is  noted  for  the  rich  interior  effects,  which  are  secured  with 
choice  marbles,  rare  woods  and  tapestries  and  hangings  from  the  most 
famous  looms.  Xo.  86j.  which  was  owned  by  the  late  C.  T.  Yerkes. 
cost  $3,000,000.  and  has  a  $2,000,000  collection  of  paintings  and  art 
treasures  in  the  largest  private  art  gallery  in  America. 

On  the  north  side  of  6Sth  street,  Xo.  871.  was  the  home  of  William 
C  Whitney,  who,  after  paying  $650,000  for  the  house,  remodeled  and 
rebuilt  the  interior,  and  made  it  one  which  for  beauty  and  costliness 
of  decoration  is  believed  to  be  without  a  rival  in  this  country. 

It  is  furnished  throughout  in  the  Italian  Renaissance  style,  the  aim  being  to  reprc 
duce  as  nearly  as  possible  a  Venetian  or  Florentine  palace  of  the  days  of  Leonardi  da 
\  inci  and  Michel  Angelo.  There  is  scarcely  a  modern  piece  of  work  to  be  seen,  ex- 
cept the  floors;  the  decorations  are  all  original  antiques  collected  abroad,  and  eacb 
the  most  perfect  specimen  that  skill  could  select  and  money  buy.  The  chimney-pieces 
are  nearly  all  elaborate  works  in  marble  from  old  Italian  palaces;  the  hangings  are 
trom  similar  sources;  the  ceilings  of  several  rooms  have  been  taken  bodily  from  famous 
buildings  in  Europe,  and  the  furniture  and  much  of  the  woodwork  are  of  a  like 
character.  In  the  principal  hall  a  portrait  of  Charles  L,  by  Van  Dyck.  hangs  at 
one  side  of  a  short  flight  of  steps,  and  a  religious  piece  by  Lorenzo  Costa  on  the 
other.  Between  them  is  a  splendid  silver  hanging  lamp,  a  masterpiece  of  old 
Italian  craftsmanship.  The  dining  room  walls  are  covered  with  sixteenth  century 
^^ian  wall  paintings.    The  chimney-piece  is  a  magnificent  specimen  of  its  kind.

THE  LENOX  LIBRARY. 


while  the  great  bronze  firedogs  are  said  to  be  the  finest  in  America.  In  the  library 
the  bookcases  and  paneling  are  of  old  oak,  carved  with  an  elaborateness  of  detail 
found  in  none  except  the  work  of  Renaissance  workmen.  The  ball  room  is  reached 
by  a  corridor  which  is  paneled  with  inlaid  woods  in  quaint  design  and  of  very  old 
workmanship.  The  ball  room  is  pure  Louis  XIV.  The  walls  are  entirely  covered 
with  paneling  in  high  relief,  which  was  once  in  the  chateau  of  Phoebus  d'Albert,  near 
Bordeaux.  In  the  time  of  Louis  Philippe  these  panelings  were  taken  to  a  house  in  Paris, 
and  from  there  they  were  brought  to  this  country.  Every  scrap  of  furniture  in  the 
room  is  also  of  the  Louis  XIV.  period,  the  ceiling  and  floor  being  the  only  modern 
portions  of  the  apartment.— New  1  ork  Times. 

At  70th  street  is  the  Lenox  Library,  or,  as  the  correct  title  now  runs, 
the  Lenox  Branch  of  the  New  York  Public  Library,  Astor.  Lenox,  and 
Tilden  Foundations.    The  library  is  open  daily  from  9  to  6. 

With  an  inherited  fortune  of  £3,000,000,  James  Lenox  devoted  his  life  to  the  collec- 
tion of  rare  books,  manuscripts  and  paintings.  In  1870  he  presented  to  the  city 
the  entire  collection,  together  with  the  library  building,  the  entire  gift  being  valued 
at  $2,000,000.  The  collection  of  4,300  Bibles  is  unequaled  even  by  that  of  the  British 
Museum,  and  the  Americana  and  Shakespeariana  are  unapproached  in  America. 
Notable  accessions  have  been  the  George  Bancroft  historical  library,  purchased  for 
$80,000;  and  the  Joseph  W.  Drexel  and  the  Astor  collections  of  books  on  music,  com- 
prising 7,800  volumes  and  1.500  pamphlets.  The  paintings  include  many  pictures  of 
note,  with  valuable  portraits  by  early  American  artists. 

Opposite  the  Lenox  Library,  recessed  in  the  wall  of  Central  Park,  is 
the  Hunt  Memorial.  It  consists  of  a  bronze  bust  of  the  architect,  by 
D.  C.  French,  with  a  curved  stone  bench.  The  dedication  is:  "To  Richard 
Morris  Hunt,  Oct.  31,  182S — July  31.  1895.  in  recognition  of  his  services 
in  the  cause  of  art  in  America,  this  memorial  was  erected  by  the  Art 
Societies  of  America."    Hunt  designed  the  Lenox  Library. 

On  the  south  corner  of  74th  street  is  the  immense  brown  stone  house 
known  as  the  Pickhardt  House. 

A  curious  history  attaches  to  the  house.  It  was  built,  unbuilt  and  rebuilt  by  William 
Pickhardt,  an  eccentric  millionaire  dealer  in  chemicals,  who  became  possessed  by  an 
ambition  to  outdo  the  Stewart  palace  at  34th  street.    Architects  of  England,  Germany

NEW  YORK. 


and  America  were  invited  to  compete,  and  the  plans  of  an  American  were  adopted. 
The  stone  for  the  walls  was  imported  from  quarries  near  Mr.  Pickhardt's  birthplace 
in  Germany.  Work  was  begun  in  1875.  After  the  foundations  had  been  finished  at  a 
cost  of  $1UU,UUU,  Mr.  Pickhardt  changed  his  plans,  and  the  work  was  interrupted  for 
a  year.  When  the  walls  of  the  first  story  had  been  completed,  there  was  another 
change  of  plan,  followed  by  another  prolonged  interruption.  The  work  then 
progressed  until  three  stories  had  been  built,  when  another  change  was  decided  on, 
and  the  weary  architect  threw  up  his  job.  A  contractor  was  employed  to  tear  down 
two  stories,  and  a  new  architect  and  new  builder  were  put  in  charge.  The  builder 
was  a  German,  and  went  to  Germany  on  a  vacation  and  died  there.  Another  builder 
was  found,  and  at  last,  in  1SS9,  after  fourteen  years  of  building,  tearing  down  and  re- 
building, and  an  expenditure  of  over  $1,000,000,  the  house  was  roofed.  Then  Mr. 
Pickhardt  concluded  that  it  was  not  what  he  wanted,  and  declared  that  he  would 
never  live  in  it.  It  stood  vacant  six  years,  and  was  then  put  up  at  auction  and  sold 
for  $472,500.  A  few  months  later  Mr.  Pickhardt  died.  The  new  owner  made  some 
more  alterations,  and  eventually  the  house  was  occupied. 

The  gilt-ribbed  dome  of  the  Hebrew  Temple  Beth-El  at  76th  street  is 
one  of  the  most  effective  architectural  features  of  the  neighborhood,  and 
has  a  conspicuous  place  in  the  vistas  and  views  from  the  walks  and  drives 
of  Central  Park.  The  interior  is  rich  with  columns  and  arches  of  onyx. 
The  land  and  the  edifice  cost  $750,000. 

At  77th  street  is  building  Senator  W.  A.  Clark's  mansion,  which  is 
to  be  the  most  costly  private  house  in  America.  A  year  and  a  half  were 
consumed  in  preparing  the  foundations,  which  were  in  places  sunk  by 
caissons  through  16  feet  of  water  to  bedrock  30  feet  below  the  sidewalk.

Central  Park  extends  from  59th  street  north  to  110th  street,  and  from 
Fifth  avenue  west  to  Eighth  avenue.  It  is  two  and  one-half  miles  long  and 
one-half  mile  wide.  The  area  comprises  879  acres  of  diversified  woodland, 
meadow,  lawn,  lakes  and  ponds ;  and  the  Park  ranks  as  cne  of  the  most 
beautiful  pleasure  grounds  in  the  world.  There  are  gV2  miles  of  carriage 
roads.  5*2  miles  of  bridle  paths  and  281/  miles  of  walks.  The  Park  is 
reached  by  the  Fifth  avenue  stages.  Madison.  Sixth  and  Eighth  avenue  and 
Broad  way  cars  and  the  Sixth  avenue  elevated.  The  principal  entrance 
is  the  Scholar's  Gate  at  Fifth  avenue  and  59th  street.  This  is  the  beginning 
of  the  main  drive  through  the  Park.    The  several  entrances  are : 

Fifth  Avenue— 59th,  64th,  67th.  72d.  79th,  85th,  90th.  96th,  iojd  and  110th

A  convenient  way  of  seeing  the  Park  is  by  the  Park  carriages,  which  will 
be  found  at  the  59th  street  gates  at  Fifth  and  Eighth  avenues,  and  at  Lenox 
avenue  and  110th  street  (inside  the  Park).  They  may  also  be  taken  on  the 
drive  near  any  of  the  entrances,  or  at  any  point  in  the  Park,  a  passengei 
being  returned  to  the  place  of  embarkation.  The  carriages  make  the  circuit 
of  the  Park  in  one  hour ;  the  fare  is  25  cents,  with  stop-over  privileges.  A 
line  of  electric  stages  runs  from  the  Fifth  avenue  and  59th  street  entrance 
through  the  Park  to  72d  street,  thence  on  Riverside  Drive  to  Grant's  Tomb; 
fare  25  cents,  round  trip  40  cents.

Baseball  Ground  on  the  left  and  the  Mall  on  the  right,  to  the  Terrace ; 
thence  past  the- Webster  Statue  on  the  West  Drive  to  79th  Street,  where  a

*The  rocky  defile  of  McGowan's  Pass,  named  after  a  farmer  who  lived  near  by,  is  asso- 
ciated with  an  incident  of  the  Revolution.  On  Sept.  15,  1776  stragglers  of  the  Ameri- 
can troops  passed  through  the  Pass  in  their  retreat  to  Harlem.  The  British  in 
pursuit  here  met  a  patriot  lad,  Andrew  McGowan,  and  pressed  him  into  service  to 
show  the  way  the  Americans  had  gone.  He  led  the  troopers  a  devious  course  over 
a  wrong  road,  and  thus  by  his  ready  wit  gave  the  Americans  time  to  escape.  Mt.  St. 
Vincent  was  so  called  because  St.  Vincent's  Convent  stood  here  before  the  property 
was  acquired  for  park  purposes.

the  landing  of  the  Pilgrims  in  1620.  This  brings  us  back  to  the  Terrace 
Bridge,  and  from  here  the  route  is  to  the  Scholar's  Gate  over  the  way  by 
which  we  entered. 

A  plan  which  will  give  a  comprehensive  seeing  of  the  Park  is  to  go 
over  the  carriage  course  as  above  to  the  Museum  of  Art,  and  then  complete 
the  trip  on  foot,  from  the  Museum  visiting  the  upper  Reservoir  near  by,  then 
the  Obelisk,  Belvedere,  Ramble,  Lake,  Terrace  and  Mall. 

Entering  by  the  59TH  street  gate  at  Fifth,  Sixth,  Seventh  or  Eighth 
avenues,  and  following  the  main  walk  toward  the  center  of  the  Park,  we 
come  shortly  to  the  Mall,  which  is  the  central  place  of  concourse  in  the

CENTRAL  PARK.

THE  BELVEDERE. 


Park,  a  broad  promenade  flanked  by 
jreen  lawns  and  arched  by  double  rows 
of  majestic  elms.  These  elms,  with 
itheir  vast  cathedral  aisles,  constitute 
the  most  imposing  feature  of  the  Park, 
and  they  are  by  far  the  finest  thing 
New  York  has  to  show  for  trees.  The 
Mall  statues  near  the  lower  end  are:  a 
replica  of  Sunol's  Columbus,  which 
stands  on  the  Prado  in  Madrid; 
Shakespeare,  by  J.  Q.  A.  Ward ;  Burns 
and  vScott,  by  Steele,  presented  by  resi- 
dent Scotchmen;  Fitz-Greene  Halleck, 
by  Wilson  MacDonald.  On  the  lawns 
west  of  the  Mall  are  Ward's  "Indian 
Hunter"  and  Fratin's  "Eagles  and 
Goat."  A  colossal  bust  of  Beethoven 
faces  the  music  stand  near  the  north 
end  of  the  Mall,  where  concerts  are 
given  on  Saturday  and  Sunday  after- 
noons in  summer.  The  Mall  terminates 
at  the  Terrace,  which  overlooks  the 
Lake,  and  with  its  stairways,  elaborately 
carved  with  fruits  and  flowers  and  birds,  is  the  chief  architectural  adorn- 
ment of  the  Park.  Broad  fl'ghts  of  steps  lead  down  to  an  esplanade,  in  the 
center  of  which  is  the  Bethesda  Fountain.  It  was  designed  by  Emma 
Stebbins ;  the  central  figure  represents  the  angel  of  the  Pool  of  Bethesda ; 
the  smaller  figures  typify  Health,  Peace,  Temperance  and  Purity.  The 
pleasure  boats  may  be  taken  here  or  at  the  boat  house  near  by  for  a  trip 
around  the  Lake.  From  the  Fountain,  taking  the  walk  to  the  left,  following 
the  Lake  shore  and  crossing  the  Bow  Bridge,  we  come  to  the  Ramble, 
whose  winding  paths  lead  to  the  lower  Croton  Reservoir.  At  the  southwest 
corner  of  the  Reservoir,  on  the  highest  point  of  land  in  the  Park,  stands  the 
Belvedere,  whose  tower  gives  a  wide  outlook  over  the  Park  and  its  sur- 
roundings. The  prospect  takes  in  the  two  reservoirs,  St.  Luke's  Hospital 
in  the  north,  the  Palisades  of  the  Hudson  in  the  west  and  the  hills  of  Long 
Island  in  the  east.  Skirting  the  Reservoir,  we  come  to  the  Obelisk,  which 
stands  on  a  knoll  by  the  East  Drive,  near  the  Museum  of  Art. 

The  Egyptian  Obelisk  is  the  object  in  the  Park  which  many  of  us 
will  esteem  the  one  thing  best  worth  seeing.  Here  we  are  face  to  face  with 
antiquity.  The  monument  was  old  when  Moses  read  its  inscriptions 
in  honor  of  the  Egyptian  sun-god ;  and  to-day  it  has  behind  it  thirty-five 
centuries,  during  which,  standing  as  an  imperishable  memorial  of  the 
Pharaohs,  it  has  seen  kings  and  empires  rise  and  flourish  and  pass  into 
oblivion.  The  Obelisk  stood  before  the  Temple  of  the  Sun  in  Heliopolis 
(the  City  of  the  Sun),  near  Cairo,  in  Egypt,  where  it  was  erected  in  the 
sixteenth  century  B.  C.  by  Thothmes  III.,  who  reigned  1591  to  1565.  Two 
hundred  years  later  Ramses  II.  (1383  to  1322),  the  Pharaoh  of  the  Bible, 
added  to  it  inscriptions  setting  forth  his  own  majesty;  and  four  centuries

recorded  his  own  name  along  with  those  of  Thothmes  and  Ramses.  Out 
Obelisk  and  a  companion  shaft  remained  standing  in  Heliopolis  until  I2j 
B.  C,  when,  Rome  being  mistress  of  the  world,  Augustus  Caesar  caused 
these  monuments  of  the  Pharaohs  to  be  removed  to  Alexandria  and  there! 
erected  before  the  Temple  of  the  Caesars.  In  the  year  1877  the  companion 
obelisk  was  removed  to  London  and  placed  on  the  Thames  Embankment. 
In  the  same  year  our  Obelisk — known  to  the  ancients  first  as  Pharaoh's 
Needle  and  afterwards   as   Cleopatra's   Needle — was  presented  by  the 

Khedive  of  Egypt  to  the  United  States. 
1  It  was  brought  to  America  by  Lieut. - 
Com.  Henry  H.  Gorringe,  U.  S.  N.,  and 
was  erected  on  the  present  site  in  1881. 
The  cost  of  the  removal  was  $102,576, 
which  entire  sum  was  contributed  by 
William  H.  Vanderbilt. 

The  Obelisk  is  a  monolith,  or  single 
stone,  of  syenite,  from  the  granite  quar- 
ries of  Syene,  in  Egypt,  and  it  is  so 
hard  that  modern  stone-cutting  instru- 
ments make  no  impression  upon  it.  The 
shaft  is  6gT/2  feet  high,  7  feet  9  inches  by 
7  feet  8J/i  inches  at  the  base,  and  weighs 
448,000  pounds.  How  the  Egyptians 
quarried  it,  transported  it  a  thousand 
miles  from  Syene  to  Heliopolis,  and 
erected  it  there,  is  one  of  the  unsolved 
mysteries  of  antiquity. 

The  bronze  crabs  date  from  the  time 
of  Caesar.  When  the  Obelisk  was  re- 
moved to  Alexandria,  the  base  was  in- 
jured; to  repair  the  damage  melted  lead 
was  poured  into  the  crevices,  and  four 
crabs  were  placed  at  the  corners.  Only 
two  of  the  crabs  have  come  down  to 
us ;  they  are  preserved  in  the  Museum 
of  Art.  The  crabs  now  under  the  shaft 
were  cast  from  these  originals  at  the 
Brooklyn  Navy  Yard.  The  inscrip- 
tions on  the  claws  in  Greek  and  Latin 
were  made  by  the  Romans,  to  com- 
memorate the  removal  to  Alexandria. 
They  read:  "Barbarus,  Governor  of 
Egypt,  erected  [this  monument]  in  the 
eighteenth  year  of  the  reign  of  Caesar. 
Pontius  was  the  architect."  The  sev- 
eral inscriptions  on  the  other  claws 
summarize  the  history  of  the  Obelisk. 
The  base  and  pedestal  were  brought 
from  Alexandria.  The  gilded  zinc  cap 
•Egyptian  obelisk — east  face,  was  put  on  the  apex  in  1893.    The  en-

The  hieroglyphics  of  the  north,  south  and  east  faces  may  for 
part  still  be  read;  those  on  the  west  face  have  been  eaten  away  d

regarded  the  king  as  the  Sun's  offspring,  and  thus  a  divinity  on  earth.  The 
Pharaohs  erected  the  obelisks  in  honor  of  the  sun-god  and  of  themselves. 
The  sun-god  Horus  was  symbolized  by  the  sparrow  hawk ;  and  this  is  the 
figure  which  appears  at  the  top  of  each  column.  The  name  of  the  king 
consists  of  a  group  of  signs  inclosed  in  an  oval,  called  a  cartouche ;  the 
names  of  kings  which  appear  on  the  Obelisk  may  be  identified  as  here 
shown.  The  inscriptions  on  the  several  faces  are  very  much  alike ;  those 
of  the  east  face  still  ctand  for  all.  The  central  column,  beginning  at  the 
top,  reads : 

The  heavenly  Horus,  the  powerful  and  glorious  bull  in  Thebes,  the  lord  of  the 
Vulture  and  Uraeus  diadems,  whose  kingdom  is  established  as  the  sun  in  the 
heavens.  He  whom  Turn,  the  lord  of  Heliopolis,  has  begotten;  the  son  of  his 
loins  whom  Thoth  has  brought  forth;  who  was  created  by  them  in  the  great 
temple  in  the  beauty  of  their  limbs;  who  knew  what  he  would  do  to  establish 
an  eternal  kingdom.  Thothmes  III.,  the  king  of  Upper  and  Lower  Egypt,  beloved 
of  the  great  god  Turn  and  his  circle  of  gods,  who  gives  all  life,  stability  and 
strength  now  and  forever. 

Thus  Thothmes.    Then  in  his  turn  Ramses : 

The  heavenly  Horus,  the  powerful  bull  beloved  of  Ra.  The  king  of  Upper  and 
Lower  Egypt,  Ramses  II.,  the  Sun,  the  child  of  the  gods.  Master  of  two  coun- 
tries, the  Sun's  offspring,  Ramses  II.,  a  youth  glorious,  beloved  like  Aten  when 
he  shines  in  the  horizon.  The  lord  of  the  two  countries,  Ramses  II.,  the  Sun's 
offspring,  Ramses  II.,  the  glorious  image  of  Ra,  who  gives  life. 

Across  the  base,  repeated  four  times,  is  the  inscription: 
Long  life  to  the  gracious  god— Ramses  II. 

And  then  five  hundred  years  after  Thothmes  and  three  hundred  after 
Ramses,  Osarkon  added  his  name: 

The  king  of  Upper  and  Lower  Egypt,  Osarkon  I.,  the  Sun's  offspring,  Osarkon  I. 

Knowledge  of  the  hieroglyphic  writing  was  lost  in  the  early  centuries  of 
the  Christian  era,  and  for  more  than  a  thousand  years  the  world  could 


X12IJ'  YORK. 


not  read  the  Obelisk  inscriptions.  In  1779  there  was  discovered  at  Rosetta, 
in  Egypt,  a  slab  of  basalt  which  bore  an  inscription  written  in  hiero- 
glyphics, and  also  in  demotic  and  Greek,  so  that  it  was  possible  to  interpret 
the  hieroglyphics  by  the  corresponding  Greek,  and  this  afforded  the  first 
clue  to  a  reading  of  the  Egyptian  characters.  Further  research  gradually 
recovered  the  entire  language,  and  thus  the  Pharaonic  inscriptions  of  the 
Obelisk  have  been  made  intelligible  to  the  modern  world.  The  famous 
Rosetta  Stone  is  in  the  British  Museum  ;  a  cast  of  it  may  be  seen  in  the 
Museum  of  Art  (No.  59,  Hall  6),  where  we  shall  find  a  large  collection  of 
Egyptian  antiquities. 

For  the  Museum  of  Art  see  page  100.  The  walk  20m»  northwest  from 
the  Museum  and  crossing  the  Drive  leads  to  the  upper  Croton  Reservoir, 
which  is  the  retaining  reservoir,  the  lower  one  being  the  receiving  reservoir. 
The  two  cover  an  area  of  143  acres,  and  have  a  capacity  of  1.180,000.000 
gallons.  '  The  water  is  brought  from  the  High  Bridge  aqueduct  over  the 
Harlem  River,  coming  from  the  Croton  watershed,  forty  miles  north  of 
the  city  in  Westchester  county.  The  walk  around  the  upper  Reservoir  is  a 
favorite  promenade,  giving  many  fine  water  views  with  the  Park  surround- 
ings and  the  near  and  distant 
towers  and  spires  of  the  city. 
The  upper  Reservoir  is  the 
body  of  water  in  the  Park

and  ponds  in  the  Park  com-

charming  bits  of  the  Park. 
Near  by  is  the  Lily  Pond,  in 
which  are  grown  many  rari- 
ties of  water  lilies.  In  the 
northern  part  are  the  Harlem 
Mere,  the  Pool  and  the  dimin- 
utive Loch.  In  the  west,  near 
the  79th  street  gate,  is  a  small 
pond,  which  is  the  home  of 
numerous  interesting  water 
fowl.  The  swans  on  the  Lake 
are  an  ever-attractive  feature.

birds,  alligators,  and  various 
other  specimens,  the  collec- 
tion being  usually  augmented 
in  winter  by  circus  animals 
loaned  to  the  city.  The  gray 
squirrels,  found  everywhere 
in  the  Park,  sometimes  be- 
come so  numerous  as  to  be  a 
pest  requiring  abatement.

The  present  buildings  form  part  of  a  group  which  will  cover  the  entire 
square.  The  departments  of  the  Museum  embrace  Geology.  Minerals.  Mam- 
mals and  Birds.  Vertebrate  Palaeontology.  Anthropology,  Entomology  and 
Invertebrate  Zoology.  The  collections  in  the  several  halls  are  extensive 
and  complete ;  from  the  stuffed  effigy  of  the  elephant  Jumbo  to  microscopic 
specimens  of  beetles,  the  world  of  nature  is  here  presented,  classified  and 
labeled  for  study.  Among  the  most  striking  exhibits  are  cases  of  taxi- 
dermy groups,  exquisite  representations  of  birds  and  mammals  amid  their 
life  surroundings  ;  the  forty-eight  groups  of  birds  and  twenty-two  of  mam- 
mals were  produced  at  a  cost  of  $45,000.  Of  bird  specimens  for  study,  the 
Museum  possesses  60.000,  and  of  mammals  20.000.  In  Entomology  there 
are  the  Jesup  collection  of  economic  entomology,  Elliot  of  6  600  butter-

by  extensive  series.  In  archaeology  and  ethnology  there  are  collections  from 
all  parts  of  the  world;  the  Christian  Missions  collections  number  thousands 
of  objects  illustrating  the  customs  and  domestic  life  of  different  races. 


metropolitan  museum  of  flit 


The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art  occupies  a  site  in  Central  Park, 
the  imposing  East  Wing  fronting  on  Fifth  avenue,  opposite  82d  street. 
It  is  open  every  week  day  from  10  to  6  in  summer,  and  10  to  5  in  winter; 
Saturday,  10  A.  M.  to  10  P.  M. ;  Sunday,  1  to  5.  An  admission  fee  of 
25  cents  is  charged  on  Monday  and  Friday  in  the  day  time.  Admission 
is  free  on  other  days.  On  pay  days  one  has  the  advantage  of  there 
being  a  smaller  number  of  visitors;  Saturdays  and  Sundays  are  as  a 
rule  unfavorable  because  of  the  crowds. 

The  Museum  is  a  private  corporation,  founded  in  1870  by  a  number  of 
public-spirited  citizens,  and  managed  by  a  board  of  trustees.  The  Mu- 
seum building  was  provided  by  the  city.  The  Metropolitan  is  the  largest 
and  richest  art  museum  in  America;  it  is  a  vast  storehouse  of  treasures  in 
the  several  departments  of  the  fine  arts ;  all  times  and  all  peoples  have  con- 
tributed to  it,  and  we  shall  find  material  for  endless  study.  The  most 
advantageous  way  to  see  the  Museum  is  to  make  a  series  of  visits,  devoting 
each  one  to  a  particular  collection  or  group.  The  province  of  the  Standard 
Guide  is  to  indicate  only  in  the  most  general  way  the  scope  of  the  collection. 
Visitors  should  use  the  catalogues  which  are  sold  in  the  hall  near  the 
entrance;  that  of  the  paintings  costs  20  cents;  the  others  10  cents  each. 

The  central  Grand  Hall  contains  the  Willard  Collection  of  Archi- 
tectural Casts,  reproducing  details  of  the  notable  architecture  of  many 
periods.  Conspicuous  are  the  models,  on  a  scale  of  one-twentieth  of  the 
original,  of  the  Parthenon,  the  Pantheon,  Notre  Dame,  and  the  Hypostyle 
Hall  of  Karnac.  On  the  walls  are  two  immense  paintings,  "Justinian  in 
Council,"  by  Benjamin-Constant,  and  "Diana's  Hunting  Party,"  by 
Makart. 

Sculptural  Plaster  Casts. — Halls  6  to  11  contain  reproductions  of; 
sculpture.  There  are  over  800  examples,  beginning  at  a  time  3,700  years  B. 
C,  and  illustrating  the  development  through  the  Egyptian,  Assyrian,! 
Persian,  Greek,  Roman  and  Mediaeval  periods,  and  the  Italian  Renaissance.; 
Here  are  the  crude  beginnings  of  antiquity  and  the  noble  works  of  the 
masters.  Pheidias  is  represented  by  the  sculptures  of  the  Parthenon  (Hall 
8)  and  Praxiteles  by  his  world-renowned  Aphrodite  (No.  34  in  Hall  11). 
The  Venus  of  Melos  is  in  Hail  11.  In  Hall  8  the  Galatian  Warrior,  thd 
Herakles  ("Torso  of  the  Belvedere"),  and  the  Laokoon  group.  The  porJ 
trait  grave-monuments  in  Hall  8  have  touching  interest.  "Archestrate 
greatly  longed-for  by  her  Husband"  one  is  inscribed.  In  Hall  7  the  SpH 
nario,  or  Boy  extracting  a  Thorn  from  his  Foot  always  attracts  attention 

The  Italian  Renaissance  subjects  are  in  Hall  9,  among  them.  Ghiberti'i 
Door  of  the  Baptistery  at  Florence.  Donatellc's  David,  "Gattamelata.'J 
and  Judith  and  Holoferncs.  Luca  della  Robbia's  Dancing  and  Playing 
Children;  and  Assumption  of  the  Virgin,  in  Hall  2.  Michel- Angelo'l

my-cases; mummies  of  human  beings,  crocodiles,  cats  and  the  ibis;  sculp- 
tures, scarabs,  amulets,  textile  fabrics,  and  objects  illustrating  the  domestic 
life  and  mortuary  customs  of  the  Egyptians,  extending  to  a  period  nearly 
4  000  B.  C.  The  Cesnola  Collection  of  Cypriote  Antiquities  consists  of 
thousands  of  objects  exhumed  on  the  island  of  Cyprus,  comprising  stone 
sculptures,  pottery  and  glass.  There  is  also,  in  the  entrance  hall,  the 
Marquand  Collection  of  Glass — Phoenician,  Greek,  Roman.  Venetian 
and  Florentine — which,  with  other  glass,  makes  the  Museum's  collection

25.  1776.  Washington  determined  to  surprise  the  British  at  Trenton. 
Christmas  night  was  selected  for  the  enterprise.  ''The  river  was 
so  full  of  floating  ice  that  at  first  it  was  doubtful  whether  a  crossing 
could  be  effected  at  all.  A  storm  of  sleet  and  snow  had  just  com- 
menced, and  the  night  became  excessively  dark  and  dreary.  The 
perilous  voyage  began  early  in  the  evening  in  boats  and  bateaux, 
but  it  was  nearly  four  in  the  morning  before  the  little  army  was 
mustered  on  the  Jersey  shore." — C.

past  sins  is  obtained.  These  pardons  take  place  at  fixed  periods 
around  about  certain  churches,  but  often  in  uncultivated  fields, 
where  tents  are  erected,  and  where  the  fete  continues  for  several 
days,  and  is  attended  by  thousands  of  the  peasantry. — C.

fierald  and  Dines  Squares 


Two  points  which  are  of  interest  because  of  recent  and  rapid  develop- 
ment as  business,  hotel  and  amusement  centers,  are  Herald  and  Times 
Squares.  Both  are  to  have  in  the  immediate  future  vastly  increased  im- 
portance by  reason  of  their  close  connection  with  the  several  tunnel  and 
rapid  transit  systems  of  communication  now  under  construction ;  and  ini 
anticipation  of  the  new  condition  thus  to  be  created,  real  estate  transactions! 
and  building  operations  of  amazing  magnitude  are  transforming  these5 
two  points  in  a  way  comparable  only  to  the  changes  wrought  in  the  sky- 
scraper districts  of  the  lower  part  of  Manhattan  Island.  Department  stores 
of  proportions  heretofore  unknown  have  been  built;  and  tens  of  millions  o) 
dollars  have  been  invested  in  hotels  and  theaters. 

Herald  Square,  at  the  intersection  of  Broadway  and  Sixth  avenue,  33c 
and  36th  streets,  takes  its  name  from  the  Herald  Building,  which  is  it: 
most  beautiful  architectural  adornment.  It  was  formerly  called  Greeley 
Square,  after  Horace  Greeley,  whose  statue  is  here ;  there  is  also  a  statue  0 
William  E.  Dodge,  a  New  York  merchant.  The  terminal  station  of  th<j 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  will  occupy  four  blocks  between  Seventh  and  Nintl 
avenues,  one  block  west  from  Herald  Square,  and  the  Long  Island  Railroa< 
Tunnel  will  have  its  station  here.  In  the  near  future  the  rapid  transit  tun! 
nel  may  be  extended  from  42d  street  south  under  Broadway,  with  a  statior 
in  Herald  Square.  On  the  west  are  the  Macy  and  the  Saks  stores.  Th 
small  plot  of  ground  on  the  corner  of  34th  street,  making  a  jog  in  th 
Macy  building,  has  an  interesting  history.  The  plot  contains  only  1,15 
square  feet.  The  Macys  wanted  it,  to  complete  their  site,  but  refused  to  pa 
the  price  demanded.  It  was  bought  for  $375,000,  or  at  the  rate  of  $324.95  p 
square  foot,  by  Henry  Siegel,  who  has  rented  it  with  a  $40,000  four-sto 
building  on  it,  for  twenty  years  at  an  annual  rental  of  $40,000,  or  5% 
$800,000.  On  the  east  side  of  the  Square  the  Broadway  Tabernacle,  f 
many  years  one  of  the  best  known  pulpits  of  New  York,  was  in  1901  so 
for  $1,300,000;  and  on  the  site  a  twenty-story  hotel  is  building,  to  cost  wi 
the  ground  $3,000,000.  The  Tabernacle  has  built  a  new  edifice  at  Broadw 
and  56th  street. 

The  Herald  Building.— In  Herald  Square  at  West  35th  street  and  t 
intersection  of  Broadway  and  Sixth  avenue,  the  New  York  Herald  occupi 
a  building  which  is  one  of  the  architectural  adornments  of  the  city.  T 
style  is  of  the  early  Italian  Renaissance,  the  exterior  is  profusely  cover 
with  decoration  most  delicate  in  design,  and  among  the  conspicuous  featur 
are  the  unbroken  roof  and  the  colonnades  of  the  first  story.  The  purpose 
the  colonnades  is  to  give  public  view  of  the  Herald  printing,  and  we  she 
find  here  one  of  the  interesting  sights  of  New  York.  On  the  Sixth  aven

side  may  be  seen  the  process  of  preparing  the  plates  for  the  press.  In  brief, 
it  is  this :  When  the  flat  form  of  type  making  a  page  is  received  from  the 
composing  room  upstairs,  a  papier-mache  mold  is  made  of  it.  The  paper 
mold,  bent  to  the  shape  of  a^  half-cylinder,  forms  a  matrix,' in  which  is  cast 
the  printing  plate  of  type-metal,  curved  to  the  proper  shape  to  fit  the 
cylinders  of  the  press.  From  the  Broadway  colonnade  we  may  see  the 
printing  plates  fastened  on  to  the  press  cylinders,  and  the  presses  in  opera- 
tion. The  paper  is  fed  from  rolls  into  one  end  of  the  press,  and  comes  out 
at  the  other  end  printed,  pasted,  cut,  folded  and  counted.  The  largest 
press  has  a  capacity  of  5,000  four-page  papers  per  minute,  300.000  per  hour; 
or  2,500  eight-page  papers  per  minute  or  150,000  per  hour.  When  we  have 
watched  the  Herald  presses  we  have  seen  one  of  the  mechanical  marvels  of 
the  age.  From  9  to  12  in  the  morning  visitors  are  escorted  through  the 
building. 

Times  Square,  at  the  intersection  of  Broadway  and  Seventh  avenue, 
from  42d  street  to  47th  street,  takes  its  name  from  the  twenty-five-story 
building  of  the  New  York  Times,  which  dominates  the  district  and  is  one 
of  the  most  conspicuous  architectural  monuments  of  the  town.  The 
Square  is  a  center  of  great  hotels  and  amusement  places.  On  the  corner 
of  42d  street  is  the  fourteen-story  Hotel  Knickerbocker,  built  by  Col.  John 
Jacob  Astor  at  a  cost  of  $4,500,000;  and  two  blocks  above  on  the  west, 
side  is  the  Hotel  Astor,  owned  by  William  Waldorf  Astor,  and  costing, 
together  with  the  site,  $5,000,000. 


Riverside  Drive. 

A  district  of  much  interest  is  the  plateau  north  of  noth  street,  on  the 
West  Side,  between  the  Hudson  River  and  Morningside  Park.  It  contains 
Grant's  Tomb  on  Riverside  Drive,  and  Columbia  University  and  the 
Cathedral  of  St.  John  the  Divine  on  Morningside  Heights.  These  several 
points  may  be  visited  in  connection.  A  convenient  method  is  to  go  by 
the  Park  stage  line  from  726.  street  on  Riverside  Drive  to  Grant's  Tomb, 
then  to  walk  to  Columbia  and  the  Cathedral,  and  return  by  Amsterdam 
avenue  or  Broadway  (Boulevard)  car.    See  list  of  routes  elsewhere. 

Riverside  Park,  which  begins  at  72d  street,  extends  along  the  slopes 
and  bluffs  of  the  Hudson  for  three  miles  to  130th  street,  forming  what  Sir 
Henry  Irving  has  pronounced  the  most  magnificent  residential  avenue  in 
the  world.  It  was  a  park  in  nature;  and  for  the  most  part  the  natural 
contours  have  been  preserved,  with  many  of  the  trees  of  the  original  forest. 
Along  the  bluff,  which  in  places  attains  an  elevation  of  130  feet,  runs  River- 
side Drive,  one  of  the  grandest  and  most  beautiful  urban  drives  in  the 
world.  It  gives  a  succession  of  picturesque  views  of  the  Hudson  and  the 
Palisades,  and  is  lined  on  the  east  with  fine  houses.  The  "Riverside  Sec- 
tion" is  one  of  the  high-class  residential  districts.  On  the  south  side  of 
89th  street  is  the  home  of  Isaac  L.  Rice;  on  the  north  side  that  built  by 
Mrs.  Alfred  Corning  Clark,  now  Mrs.  Bishop  Potter;  at  90th  street,  the 
home  of  John  H.  Matthews,  the  soda  water  manufacturer;  100th  street, 
Peter  Doelger,  the  brewer ;  I02d  street,  the  house  with  a  glass  room  on  the 
second  floor,  Mrs.  Bertha  Foster,  whose  husband  made  a  fortune  from  a 
patent  glove  hook;  108th  street,  S.  G.  Bayne,  President  of  the  Seaboard 
National  Bank.  The  New  York  Orpnan  Asylum  plot  fronting  the  Drive, 
from  73d  to  74th  streets,  was  acquired  in  1001  by  Charles  M.  Schwab, 
President  of  the  United  States  Steel  Corporation,  who  paid  for  it  $860,000. 
and  here  Mr.  Schwab  has  built  at  a  reported  cost  of  $2,000,000  one  of  the 
most  magnificent  residences  in  America. 

At  89th  street  is  the  Soldiers'  and  Sailors'  Monument,  to  commemorate 
the  citizens  of  New  York  who  had  part  in  the  Civil  War.  The  structure  is 
modeled  upon  the  choragic  monuments  of  ancient  Athens;  it  is  a  circular 
building  of  pure  white  marble,  with  a  peristyle  of  twelve  Corinthian  col- 
umns, 35  feet  high.  It  was  provided  by  the  city  at  a  cost  of  $250,000,  and 
was  dedicated  in  1902. 

A  copy  of  Houdon's  statue  of  Washington,  a  gift  from  the  school 
children  of  the  city,  stands  at  89th  street.  The  boat  house  of 
Columbia  is  on  the  river  bank  at  115th  street.  Across  the  open  fields  at 
116th  street  are  seen  the  buildings  of  Columbia  University  and  Barnard 
College,  and  shortly  beyond  we  come  to  the  ascent  upon  which  rises  the 
Tomb  of  General  Grant.  The  spot  is  one  of  natural  grandeur  and  beauty 
of  surroundings.  The  bluff  rises  130  feet  above  the  river,  and  is  clothed 
with  great  forest  trees,  good  to  look  upon,  and  through  the  openings  giv- 
ing many  lovely  vistas.  Below  is  the  broad  expanse  of  the  Hudson, 
animated  here  and  there  with  sail  and  steam;  opposite  are  the  green 
slopes  of  New  Jersey,  with  the  Palisades  stretching  away  to  the  north  until 
they  soften  in  the  distance  and  merge  in  the  purple  haze.   The  view  look-

ing  up  the  Hudson  from  Clareniont  is  justly  famous.  It  would  have  been 
difficult  to  find  a  grander  site  than  this  one  on  Riverside  Drive  for  the 
monumental  pile  which  New  York  has  erected  here  to  the  memory  of 
the  great  General. 

This  point  of  the  Drive  has  retained  the  name  of  Claremont,  from  an 
old  family  mansion,  which  stands  north  of  the  Tomb,  and  is  now  the 
Claremont  Inn  restaurant.  Beyond  the  Claremont  slopes  the  east  drive 
circles  and  returns  on  the  west  side  of  the  Tomb.  A  steel  viaduct  one-third 
of  a  mile  in  length  spanning  Manhattan  Valley  provides  for  a  northern 
extension  of  the  Drive  to  a  connection  with  the  Harlem  Speedway,  which 
gives  a  continuous  elevated  boulevard  for  a  distance  of  ten  miles  along 
the  Hudson  and  the  Harlem.  Ultimately  the  Riverside  Drive  will  be  ex- 
tended to  connect  with  Boulevard  Lafayette. 


Grant's  Comb 


Grant's  Tomb  is  on  Riverside  Drive  at  123d  street.  For  route?  see  else- 
where. It  is  open  daily,  Sunday  included,  from  10  to  5.  The  monument 
occupies  a  commanding  site  overlooking  the  Hudson,  and  is  itself  a  con- 
spicuous object  in  the  river  views.  It  was  designed  by  John  H.  Duncan  .and 
is  constructed  of  white  granite  from  Maine,  with  white  marble  interior. 
The  proportions  are  imposing.  The  square  structure  is  90  feet  on  the  side 
and  72  feet  in  height :  the  circular  cupola  with  Ionic  columns  is  70  feet  in 
diameter,  and  the  dome  rises  150  feet  from  the  ground.  The  apex  of  the 
monument  is  280  feet  above  the  river.  From  the  plaza  on  the  south  side 
steps  70  feet  wide  ascend  to  the  portico,  which  has  double  lines  of  Doric 
columns  before  the  entrance,  with  its  massive,  bronze  doors.  Above  the 
portico  two  sculptured  figures  by  J.  Massey  Rhind.  emblematic  of  Peace 
and  War.  flank  a  panel,  on  which  are  inscribed  the  words:  Let  us  have 
peace.*  The  decorative  scheme  provides  for  bronze  statues  and  groups  on 
the  portico,  parapet  and  dome. 

The  interior  plan  is  cruciform.  76  feet  between  the  walls.  The  four 
great  piers  of  the  rotunda  carry  arches  whose  crowns  are  50  feet  from 
the  floor :  the  circular  gallery,  supported  by  the  arches,  is  40  feet  in  diam- 
eter: the  dome  rises  105  feet  above  the  floor.  In  the  pendentives  sculptured 
reliefs  by  Rhind  symbolize  Youth.  Military  Life,  Civil  Life  and  Death.  In 
small  rooms  surrounding  the  rotunda  stands  of  battle  flags  will  lend  a 
touch  of  color.  The  hush  of  the  vast  chamber,  the  mellowed  light  and  the 
simplicity  and  dignity  of  the  architectural  plan  and  details  combine  to  give 
solemnity  to  the  place. 

Through  a  circular  opening  in  the  floor  the  sarcophagus  is  seen  in  the 
crypt  directly  beneath  the  center  of  the  dome.  It  is  of  polished  red  porphyry 
from  Montello.  Wis.,  and  is  supported  upon  a  pedestal  of  granite  from 
Quincy.  Mass.  Upon  the  lid  is  the  name  Ulysses  S.  Grant.  The  com- 
panion sarcophagus,  a  counterpart  in  material  and  design. was  here  provided 
in  compliance  with  an  expressed  wish  of  General  Grant  that  Mrs.  Grant 
should  lie  by  his  side. 

General  Grant  died  at  Mount  McGregor,  July  23.  1885.  The  remains 
lay  in  state  in  the  Xew  York  City  Hall,  and  were  viewed  by  300.000 
people  before  being  conveyed  to  the  temporary  tomb  at  Riverside.  The 
funeral  was  the  grandest  pageant  Xew  York  has  seen.  The  procession 
was  eight  miles  in  length,  and  it  was  estimated  that  an  assemblage  of 
a  million  people  lined  the  route. 

The  Tomb  was  built  with  a  fund  raised  by  the  Grant  Monument  Asso- 
ciation ;  there  were  90.000  contributors,  and  the  fund  with  accrued  interest 

•This  was  the  concluding  sentence  of  General  Grant's  letter  of  May  29,  1868,  accepting 
the  nomination  for  the  Presidency.  It  was  the  expression  of  his  earnest  desire  for 
reconciliation  between  the  North  and  the  South.  The  historic  phrase  was  well  chosen 
for  perpetuation  here.  The  Civil  War  was  a  conflict  between  brothers;  its  termination 
meant  the  restoration  of  their  union.  It  is  fitting,  then,  that  this  monument  to  the 
General,  who  commanded  the  victorious  Union  armies,  should  have  inscribed  upon  it 
not  a  record  of  his  triumphs  over  the  enemy,  but  the  sentiment  which  he  himself 
uttered,  significant  of  the  end  for  which  the  battle  had  been  fought— the  "peace"  ol 
reconciled  and  reunited  brothers— a  peace  the  realization  of  which  has  made  Grant's 
achievements  and  fame  the  heritage  ot  a  common  country.

aggregated  $600,000.  The  cornerstone  was  laid  by  President  Harrison,  April 
27,  1892.  Sealed  in  it  were  copies  of  fhe  Declaration  of  Independence,  Con- 
stitution of  the  United  States  and  Articles  of  Confederation ;  a  Bible,  the 
"Memoirs"  of  General  Grant,  an  American  flag,  badges  of  the  Grand  Army 
of  the  Republic  and  the  Loyal  Legion,  and  eleven  medals  struck  in  United 
States  mints  in  commemoration  of  events  in  General  Grant's  life.  On 
April  27,  1897,  the  seventy-fifth  anniversary  of  General  Grant's  birth,  the 
monument  was  dedicated  with  imposing  ceremonies,  a  military,  naval  and 
civic  parade  in  which  50,000  men  were  in  line,  an  address  by  President

NEW  YORK. 


McKinley,  and  an  oration  by  Gen.  Horace  Porter,  President  of  the  Grant 

Monument  Association. 

Among  the  earliest  contributors  to  the  monument  fund  had  been  the 
Chinese  statesman.  Li  Hung  Chang,  between  whom  and  General  Grant  a 
friendship  had  existed  since  their  meeting  in  China  during  the  General's 
trip  around  the  world.  Every  year  after  General  Grant's  death  Li  Hung 
Chang  had  sent  to  the  Chinese  Minister  at  Washington  a  wreath  to  be 
placed  at  the  tomb.  When  Li  was  in  the  United  States  in  1896  he  visited 
the  temporary  tomb  at  Riverside  and  laid  upon  the  sarcophagus  a  wreath 
of  smilax,  laurel  and  orchids.  The  following  year  he  sent  a  gingko  tree,  to 
be  planted  here ;  it  is  on  the  north  side  of  the  Tomb,  and  the  bronze  tablet 
ecords  in  Chinese  and  English  texts:* 

This  tree  is  planted  at  the  side  of  the  tomb  of  General  U.  S.  Grant,  ex-President 
of  the  United  States  of  America,  for  the  purpose  of  commemorating  his  great- 
ness, by  Li  Hung  Chang,  Guardian  of  the  Prince,  Grand  Secretary  of  State, 
Earl  of  the  First  Order  Yang  Hu,  Envoy  Extraordinary  and  Minister  Plenipo- 
.entiary  of  China,  Vice  President  of  the  Board  of  Censors.  Kwang  Hsu,  23rd 
year,  4th  moon,  May,  1897. 

Xear  Grant's  Tomb,  on  the  edge  of  the  bluff,  is  a  little  monument  mark- 
ing the  grave  of  "an  amiable  child."  The  inscription?  have  been  blurred  by 
the  passing  of  a  hundred  years,  but  we  may  read  them  still : 

Erected  to  the  memory  of  an  amiable  child.  St.  Claire  Pollock,  died  15  July, 
1  797,  in  the  5  year  of  his  age. 

Man  that  is  born  of  a  woman  is  of  few  years  and  full  of  trouble.  He  cometh 
forth  like  a  flower  and  is  cui  down;  he  fleeth  also  asa  shadow  and  continueth  not. 

At  the  time  referred  to  this  was  called  Strawberry  Hill,  and  was  the 

country  "home  of  George  Pollock,  a  New  York  merchant.  Shortly  there- 
after Mr.  Pollock  failed  in  business,  war  forced  to  sell  his  Strawberry 
Hill  property,  and  went  to  England.  In  a  letter  which  he  wrote  thence  to 
Mrs.  Gulian-C/'Verplanck,  under  date  of  Jan.  18,  1800,  we  have  this  record 
of  the  child's  grave  : 

There  is  a  small  enclosure  near  your  boundary  fence  within  which  lie  the  remains  of 
a  favorite  child,  covered  by  a  marble  monument.  .  .  The  surrounding  ground  will 
tall  into  the  hands  of^J  know  not  whom,  whose  prejudice  or  better  taste  may  remove! 
the.monument  andriay  fhe  enclosure  open.  You  will  confer  a  peculiar  and  interesting 
favor  upon  me  by  allowing  me  to  convey  the  enclosure  to  you,  so  that  you  will  con« 
sider  it  a  part  of  your  own  estate,  keeping  it,  however,  always  enclosed  and  sacred. 
There  is  a  white  marble  funeral  urn  prepared  to  place  on  the  monument  which  will 
not  lessen  its  beauty.  I  have  long  considered  those  grounds  as.  of  my  own  creation 
having  selected  them  when  wild,  and  brought  the  place  to  its  present  form.  Having 
so  long  and  so  delightfully  resided  there,  I  feel  an  interest  in  it  that  I  cannot  get 
rid  of  but  with  time. 

It  is  an  extremely  curious  and  interesting  circumstance  that  the  little 
grave,  which  was  in  1800  the  subject  of  a  father's  solicitude,  should  have 
endured  through  the  vicissitudes  of  a  hundred  years,  and  been  preserved 
amid  the  changes  which  have  converted  the  remote  country  seat  of  Straw- 
berry Hill  into  the  Riverside  Park  of  to-day — the  spot  of  isolated  seclusion 
into  a  place  of  thronging  thousands.  More  suggestive  still  is  that  chance 
of  time  which  has  brought  into  juxtaposition  here  on  Riverside  Drive  the 
magnificent  Tomb  of  the  great  General — a  nation's  shrine,  and  the  humble 
grave  of  "an  amiable  child,"  who  died  more  than  a  century  ago  "in  the  5  I 
year  of  his  age." 

•With  the  gingko  or  maidenhair  (Salisburia  adianti folia)  was  planted  as  a  companion 
tree  a  Chinese  cork  tree  (Phellodendron  amurense). 


morningside  ^eights 


Columbia  University  is  on  Morningside  Heights,  between  Broadway  and  Amster- 
dam avenue,  116th  to  120th  street. 

President  Seth  Low  of  Columbia  University  called  the  Morningside 
Heights  the  "Acropolis  of  the  New  World"  ;  and  to  make  good  the  name 
has  crowned  the  plateau  with  the  Low  Memorial  Library,  pure  Greek  in 
design  and  with  Pallas  Athene  at  the  threshold.  The  Library  was  given  by 
President  Low  as  a  memorial  of  his  father.  Abiel  Abbott  Low,  a  citizen  of 
Brooklyn  and  merchant  of  New  York.  The  Library  fronts  on  116th  street 
and  is  approached  by  the  South  Court,  which  is  the  principal  entrance  to 
the  University  grounds.  The  court  is  350  by  130  feet,  and  consists  of  a 
paved  esplanade,  with  granite  wall  and  balustrade  on  three  sides,  and  great 
Italian  stone  vases,  fountains,  flowers  and  shrubs,  and  broad  steps 
leading  up  to  the  Library  grade,  10  feet  above  the  street.  It  is  in  the 
Italian  style,  and  is  an  architectural  feature  unique  in  America.  The  two 
Irish  yews,  one  on  each  side  of  the  stairway,  were  brought  to  America 
more  than  a  century  ago,  and  were  transplanted  here  from  the  old  college 
site  in  49th  street.  The  flag  standard  was  presented  by  Lafayette  Post,  No. 
140,  G.  A.  R.  The  Library  building,  of  Indiana  limestone  on  a  granite 
base,  cost  $1,500,000,  and  is  considered  one  of  the  purest  examples  of 
classical  Greek  architecture  in  America.  The  plan  is  that  of  a  Maltese 
cross,  the  central  feature  being  the  rotunda,  vaulted  by  the  immense  dome. 
A  panel  above  the  portico  contains  the  record  of  Columbia's  past: 

King's  College,  founded  in  the  Province  of  New  York  by  royal  charter  in  the 
reign  of  George  II.  Perpetuated  as  Columbia  College  by  the  people  of  the  State 
of  New  York,  when  they  became  free  and  independent:  maintained  and  cherished 
from  generation  to  generation  for  the  advancement  of  the  public  good  and  the 
glory  of  Almighty  God. 

In  the  Library  is  treasured  the  old  iron  crown  that  once  formed  the  finial 
of  King's  College.  With  its  285.000  volumes  the  Library  ranks  fourth  in 
value  of  book  collections  in  this  country.  The  reading  room  is  open  to 
the  public  daily  and  at  night. 

The  group  of  buildings  of  which  the  Library  is  the  center  will  number 
fifteen.  Those  completed  are  the  Engineering  Building,  Earl,  Havemeyer, 
Schermerhorn  and  Fayerweather  Halls,  and  the  first  story  of  University 
Hall,  which  when  completed  will  contain  a  gymnasium,  a  theater  and  a 
dining  hall.  The  University  grounds  of  eighteen  acres  cost  $2,000,000.  The 
Campus,  at  the  north  end  of  the  grounds,  with  its  groves  of  oaks  and  chest- 
nuts, is  surrounded  with  a  massive  iron  fence;  this  has  on  the  Broadway 
side  a  bronze  gate,  which  is  a  memorial  of  Herbert  Mapes  ('90  Arts  and  '92 
Mines),  who  shortly  after  graduation  sacrificed  his  life  in  an  endeavor  to 
rescue  two  girls  from  death  by  drowning. 

Columlr'a  occupies  historic  ground.  Embedded  in  the  masonry  of  the 
Engineering  Building  on  the  Broadway  side  is  a  bronze  tablet  erected  by 
the  Sons  of  the  Revolution — 

To  commemorate  the  Battle  of  Harlem  Heights,  won  by  Washington's  troops  on 
this  site,  September  16,  1776. 

The  relief  pictures  the  charge  of  the  Rangers  and  riflemen  under  Major 
Andrew  Leitch,  of  Virginia,  and  Colonel  Thomas  Knowlton,  of  Connecti-

cut.  Leitch  is  represented  as  fallen,  and  Knowlton  with  waving  sword 
encouraging  his  men.  Both  were  mortally  wounded  in  the  charge,  Knowl- 
ton bequeathing  to  us  his  dying  declaration,  "I  do  not  value  my  life  if  we 
but  get  the  day."  In  the  main  battle  which  followed,  on  the  plateau  which 
lies  to  the  west,  the  Americans  did  "get  the  day"  in  the  face  of  superior 
numbers,  and  won  a  victory  which  inspired  lasting  courage  and  confidence 
in  the  Patriot  army. 

Across  Broadway  from  Columbia  is  Barnard  College,  for  women,  the 
three  halls — Fisk,  Milbank  and  Brinkerhoff — forming  an  attractive  quad- 
rangle on  119th  street.  The  College  took  its  name  from  Dr.  Charles 
Barnard,  a  former  President  of  Columbia ;  it  is  a  department  of  the 
University.  Hamilton  Court,  a  dormitory  for  Columbia  students,  with 
rooms  for  1.000.  is  on  Amsterdam  avenue  northeast  of  the  University 
grounds.  The  Columbia  Boat  House  on  the  Hudson  at  the  foot  of  115th  St. 
was  given  by*  Edwin  Gould,  a  graduate  of  1888.  The  athletic  field  is  at 
Williamsbridge.  The  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  a  department  of 
Columbia,  is  on  West  59th  street. 

Teachers  College,  opposite  Columbia,  at  120th  street,  is  for  the  training 
of  teachers.  It  was  founded  in  1886  by  Miss  Grace  Dodge,  and  is  now  a 
part  of  Columbia  University.  The  Horace  Mann  School  is  a  large  private 
school  conducted  in  connection  with  the  College.  Visitors  are  welcome 
from  Monday  to  Friday  inclusive,  in  the  College  from  9  to  $,  and  in  the 
School  from  9  to  1.  The  Kindergarten  hours  for  visitors  are  9  to  1  on 
Tuesday  and  Thursday.  Visitors  from  a  distance  will  be  received  at  other 
times.

NEW  YORK. 


CATHEDRAL  OF  ST.   JOHN   THE  DIVINE. 
From  the  original  architects'  drawing.    Courtesy  of  Heins  &  La  Farge. 


The  Cathedral  of  St.  John  the  Divine  (Protestant  Episcopal)  is 
building  on  Cathedral  Height?,  a  name  which  has  been  given  to  the  southern 
end  of  Morningside  Heights,  between  Morningside  Park  and  Amsterdam 
avenue.  The  site,  which  embraces  three  city  blocks,  from  noth  to  113th 
streets,  cost  $850,000.  The  cornerstone  was  laid  in  1892;  the  Belmont 
Chapel  has  been  finished,  and  the  whole  structure  will  be  built  in  from 
forty  to  fifty  years,  at  an  estimated  cost  of  $6,000,000.  The  architects  are 
Heins  &  La  Farge. 

The  Cathedral  will  face  the  west.  The  exterior  length  will  be  520  feet, 
width  of  front  172  feet,  across  the  transepts  290  feet.  Of  the  seven  towers, 
the  four  on  the  sides  will  be  158  feet,  the  two  in  front  284  feet,  and  the 
central  tower  will  rise  445  feet  from  floor  to  top  of  cross.  The  nave  will 
be  180  feet  long,  the  chancel  vault  115  feet  high.  Thus  it  is  seen  that  the 
Cathedral  will  surpass  any  ecclesiastical  edifice  in  America,  and  in  its 
dignity  of  design,  grandeur  of  proportions  and  superb  situation,  will  take 
rank  with  the  great  cathedrals  of  the  Old  World. 

At  the  suggestion  of  Bishop  Potter,  there  will  be  surrounding  the  Choir 
seven  Chapels  of  Tongues,  in  which  Sabbath  sen-ices  will  be  held  in  seven 
different  languages.   The  Gerrrian  Chapel  will  be  the  first  one  built. 

A  feature  of  the  Choir  will  be  the  eight  pillars  surrounding  the  three

sides  of  the  altar;  these  will  be  mammoth  monoliths  of  polished  Maine 
granite,  each  one  54  feet  6  inches  high  and  6  feet  in  diameter,  and  weighing 
120  tons.  These  are  building  stones  surpassed  only  by  the  60-foot  columns 
in  the  Cathedral  of  St.  Isaac  in  St.  Petersburg.  The  cost  of  the  eight 
pillars  in  position  will  be  $200,000.  • 

The  Crypt,  which  was  quarried  out  of  the  solid  rock,  has  been  com- 
pleted, and  services  are  held  in  it  on  Sunday.  The  Crypt  is  open  to 
visitors  on  Tuesdays,  Thursdays  and  Saturdays  from  4  to  6  P.  M.  For 
visits  at  other  times  parties  of  five  or  more  may  arrange  with  the  sexton, 
C.  F.  Barnard,  at  110th  street  and  Amsterdam  avenue.  There  is  no  admis- 
sion fee  at  any  time.  The  Crypt  contains  the  Tiffany  Chapel,  which 
attracted  so  much  attention  at  the  World's  Fair  at  Chicago.  On  the  walls 
are  hung  two  of  the  eight  Barberini  tapestries  which  will  be  used  for  the 
mural  adornment  of  the  completed  Cathedral.  They  picture  "Scenes  from 
the  Life  of  Christ."  The  two  in  the  Crypt  are  "The  Visit  of  the  Wise  Men" 
and  "The  Resurrection."  These  tapestries  were  among  the  weaves  of  the 
celebrated  Papal  tapestry  manufactory,  founded  by  Cardinal  Barberini  at 
Rome  in  1633,  under  patronage  of  Pope  Urban  VIII.    They  were  intended

for  the  Barberini  Palace,  and  remained  in  the  Barberini  family  until,  a  few 
years  ago,  the  Princess  Barberini  was  induced  to  sell  them  to  provide  a 
dowry  for  a  daughter.  They  were  purchased  for  $75,000  by  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
U.  Coles,  and  by  her  were  bequeathed  to  the  Cathedral. 

Opposite  the  Cathedral  grounds  on  113th  street  is  St.  Luke's  Hospital, 
Protestant  Episcopal,  one  of  the  noble  institutions  of  the  city, 

IH  fiarktn  River  and  Beyond, 

The  Harlem  River,  seven  miles  long,  separates  Manhattan  Island  from 
the  mainland.  It  connects  the  Hudson  with  the  East  River  and  Long 
Island  Sound,  and  Congress  has  made  it  a  ship  canal  for  approach  to  the 
Sound  without  going  through  Hell  Gate.  For  much  of  its  course  it  flows 
through  a  picturesque  valley,  and  the  natural  attractions,  together  with  the 
great  bridges  which  span  the  river,  make  it  a  popular  resort.  All  the 
points  here  named  are  on  the  west  side  of  the  city. 

The  Viaduct  at  155th  street,  four-fifths  mile  long,  which  connects  Wash- 
ington Heights,  by  way  of  the  Central  Bridge,  with  Jerome  avenue,  was 
built  at  a  cost  of  $2,000,000,  and  ranks  as  one  of  the  greatest  of  the  engi- 
neering works  of  its  class.  Below  the  Viaduct,  on  Eighth  avenue,  are  the 
New  York  ball  grounds.  On  the  crest  of  Washington  Heights,  north  of  the 
Viaduct,  is  seen  the  Jumel  Mansion. 

The  Jumel  Mansion,  a  fine  example  of  Colonial  architecture,  at  160th 
Street  near  Amsterdam  Avenue,  is  the  most  famous  historic  house  on 
Manhattan  Island.  It  was  built  in  1763  by  Roger  Morris,  the  husband 
of  that  Mary  Philipse,  for  whose  hand  the  young  Virginia  Colonel, 
George  Washington,  is  said  to  have  been  an  unsuccessful  suitor.  When 
'he  Revolutionary  War  began,  Roger  Morris,  who  had  resigned  a 
Lieutenant-Colonelcy  in  the  British  Army  and  who  was  then  a  member 
of  the  King's  Council  for  the  Colonies,  fled  the  country,  taking  ship  for 
England  in  May.  1775.  Mrs.  Morris  remained  in  possession  of  the 
Mansion  and  of  her  town  house  at  the  corner  of  Stone  Street  and  White 
Hall.  General  Washington  took  the  Mansion  for  his  headquarters  on 
his  retreat  from  New  York  and  occupied  it  for  thirty-six  days.  The 
great  salon  in  the  extension  was  his  Council  Chamber  and  the  rear 
room  above  was  his  bedroom.  The  house  fell  into  the  hands  of  the 
British  with  the  capture  of  Fort  Washington  and  was  the  headquarters 
of  General  Sir  Henry  Clinton  in  the  summer  of  1777,  and  of  Lieut-Gen. 
Baron  von  Knyphausen  in  1778.  After  the  war  it  was  a  tavern  on  the 
Albany  stage  road,  the  first  stopping  place  out  of  New  York,  where  the 
first  change  of  horses  was  made.  The  house  was  then  known  as  Calumet 
Hall.  It  was  a  farm  house  in  1790,  when  General  Washington  gave  a 
dinner  in  the  old  house  to  his  Cabinet  officers  and  their  ladies.  Among 
his  guests  were  Alexander  Hamilton  and  Mrs.  Hamilton,  John  Adams 
and  Abigail  Adams,  his  wife,  General  and  Mrs.  Knox,  Thomas  Jefferson 
and  Mrs.  Tobias  Leer.  The  estate,  comprising  the  Mansion  and  thirty- 
six  acres  of  land,  were  bought  in  1810  by  Stephen  Jumel,  a  rich  French 
merchant,  from  Leonard  Parkinson,  for  a  little  less  than  $10,000.  M. 
Jumel  was  an  ardent  admirer  of  Washington,  and  he  devoted  his  money 
and  his  energy  to  restoring  the  house  to  what  it  had  been  in  Washing-

ion's  time.  He  had  the  old  green  Colonial  paper  reproduced  in  France 
and  restored  to  the  walls  of  the 'Council  Chamber,  where  it  hung  alto- 
gether for  120  years.  In  1815  he  went  to  France  in  his  own  ship,  the 
"Eliza,"  named  after  his  wife,  who  accompanied  him,  with  the  purpose 
of  bringing  back  Napoleon  to  the  house  that  had  sheltered  Washington. 
The  Emperor  was  unable  to  accept  the  hospitality  of  M.  Jumel,  but  he 
gave  to  the  Jumels  his  traveling"  carriage  and  his  campaigning  trunk. 
The  Egyptian  Cyprus  trees,  now  standing  at  the  corner  of  St.  Nicholas 
Avenue  and  159th  Street,  which  had  just  been  given  to  Napoleon  by 
the  Khedive  of  Egypt,  were  sent  to  America  by  M.  Jumel  in  1815.  After 
the  death  of  her  husband,  Madame  Jumel  married  Aaron  Burr,  but  soon 
divorced  him.  She  was  a  famous  historical  character,  who  used  to 
drive  in  a  coach  and  four  with  postillions.  She  entertained  such  famous 
guests  as  Lafayette,  Louis  Napoleon,  Joseph  Bonaparte  and  Jerome  Bona- 
parte. She  died  in  1865.  The  house  is  owned  by  the  city,  and  with  the 
grounds  is  included  in  the  park  system.  It  is  in  the  care  of  the  Wash- 
ington Headquarters'  Association  of  the  Daughters  of  the  American 
Revolution  and  contains  a  museum  of  Revolutionary  relics.  It  is  open 
to  visitors  on  every  day  in  the  year  from  9  o'clock  A.  M,  to  5  P.  M. 
The  nearest  station  on  the  Subway  is  at  156th  Street  and  Broadway,  and 
by  the  Elevated  at  155th  Street. 

High  Bridge,  at  West  175th  street,  carries  across  the  Harlem  the  original 
Croton  aqueduct,  which  brings  the  city  water  from  Croton  River  and  Lake 
in  Westchester  county.  The  bridge  is  1,460  feet  in  length;  the  crown  of  the 
highest  of  the  fourteen  arches  is  116  feet  above  the  river.  The  bridge 
footway  affords  fine  views,  and  from  below  the  arches  gives  many  pleasing 
vistas.    At  the  Manhattan  end  is  the  water  tower  shown  in  our  illustra-

tion,  and  back  of  this  is -a  high-service  reservoir;  it  is  worth  while  climbing 
to  the  top  for  the  view.  The  grounds  adjacent  constitute  the  High  Bridge 
Park. 

The  original  Croton  waterworks  were  completed  in  1842 ;  the  aqueduct 
is  thirty  miles  long,  and  has  a  flowing  capacity  of  90,000.000  gallons  daily. 
In  1890  a  second  aqueduct  was  opened,  which  extends  from  Croton  Lake  to 
135th  street,  a  distance  of  thirty  and  one-half  miles,  and  has  a  capacity  of 
290,000,000  gallons  in  twenty-four  hours.  The  average  depth  of  the  tunnel 
under  ground  is  170  feet,  in  some  places  reaching  350  feet.  It  goes  under 
the  Harlem  through  solid  rock  307  feet  below  the  bed  of  the  river,  and  then 
rises  400  feet  in  a  perpendicular  shaft  at  the  point  where  the  stone  water 
station  is  seen  between  High  Bridge  and  Washington  Bridge.  The  aque- 
duct is  the  largest  tunnel  in  the  world;  five  years  were  spent  in  building 
it,  and  the  cost  was  nearly  $20,000,000.  The  average  daily  consumption 
of  water  in  Manhattan  and  the  Bronx  is  about  251.000,000  gallons;  the  esti- 
mated supply  available  when  new  dams  now  building  shall  be  completed  will 
be  280,000,000.    Brooklyn  gets  its  water  from  Long  Island. 

The  Speedway  (Harlem  River  Driveway)  is  a  road  on  the  west  bank  of 
the  Harlem,  built  by  the  city  at  a  cost  of  nearly  $3  000,000,  for  the  special 
use  of  drivers  of  fast  horses.  It  is  four  and  one-quarter  miles  in  length, 
beginning  at  155th  street  and  extending  north  to  Dykeman  street,  where 
connection  is  made  with  the  extension  of  Riverside  Drive.  The  Speedway 
races  on  pleasant  afternoons  attract  thousands  of  spectators.  For  route 
sec  Speedway  in  general  list  of  routes. 

The  Washington  Bridge,  just  north  of  High  Bridge,  at  West  181  st 
street,  is  an  imposing  structure  of  steel,  iron  and  granite,  in  size  and  grandeur 
of  proportions  second  only  to  the  Brooklyn  Bridge.  It  is  2,384  feet  in  length, 
and  80  feet  wide;  the  two  central  arches  have  a  span  of  510  feet  each,  and 
their  crowns  are  135  feet  above  the  river.  The  cost  was  nearly  $2,700,000. 
Bordering  the  east  approach  are  the  grounds  of  the  Ogden  estate.  The 
river  slope  has  been  made  a  public  park.  On  the  east  bank  of  the  river 
are  the  tracks  of  the  New  York  Central,  and  New  York  &  Putnam  roads; 
on  the  west  side  is  the  Speedway.  The  view  to  the  north  is  toward  Kings- 
bridge.    On  the  left  are  Washington  Heights,  and  Fort  George,  named

from  a  Revolutionary  redoubt  and  now  given  over  to  beer  saloons.  The 
Isabella  Heimath,  on  the  crest  of  the  hill  near  Fort  George,  is  a  home  for 
old  men  and  women ;  it  was  given  in  memory  of  Anna  Ottendorfer  by  her 
husband,  Oswald  Ottendorfer,  founder  of  the  Staats-Zeitung,  On  the  east 
side  of  the  river  are  Morris  Heights  and  University  Heights,  where  may 
be  seen  the  dome  of  the  University  Library.  Beyond  is  the  tower  of  the 
Webb  Academy  and  Home  for  Shipbuilders,  founded  at  a  cost  of  $2,000,000 
by  the  New  York  shipbuilder,  William  H.  Webb. 

The  Hall  of  Fame  for  Great  Americans  is  at  University  Heights,  and 
is  reached  by  the  Sixth  avenue  elevated  to  155th  street,  thence  N.  Y.  & 
Putnam  R.  R.  to  Morris  Heights  station.  The  Hall,  which  is  one  of  the 
buildings  enclosing  the  campus  of  the  New  York  University,  is  a  granite 
colonnade  500  feet  in  length,  built  about  the  Library.  It  contains  150 
panels,  in  which  will  be  set  bronze  tablets  for  the  names  of  150  great 
Americans.  The  selection  of  the  subjects  to  be  honored  is  entrusted  to  a 
committee  of  100  members,  made  up  of  college  presidents,  educators,  pro- 
fessors of  history,  scientists,  publicists,  editors,  authors  and  chief  justices, 
the  selection  finally  to  be  approved  by  the  New  York  University  Senate. 
Only  persons  born  in  the  United  States  and  deceased  at  least  ten  years 
are  eligible.  Twenty-nine  names  were  chosen  in  1900;  eleven  others  were 
selected  in  1905,  and  five  will  be  added  every  fifth  year,  until  in  the  year 
2,000  the  roll  of  150  shall  be  complete.  With  each  individual's  name  is 
inscribed  a  quotation  from  his  speeches  or  writings;  and  in  the  Museum 
of  the  Hall  of  Fame,  portraits  and  other  memorials  will  be  preserved.  A

was  a  gift  to  the  New  York  University  from  Miss  Helen  Gould.  The 
original  sum  given  for  the  purpose  was  $100,000,  but  it  is  estimated  that 
the  completed  edifice  will  have  cost  $250,000. 

Bronx  Park 

For  route  see  general  list  of  routes  elsewhere. 

Bronx  Park  lies  on  both  sides  of  the  Bronx  River,  between  Williams- 
bridge  and  West  Farms.  The  river,  which  took  its  name  from  Jonas 
Broncks,  one  of  the  early  Dutch  proprietors,  rises  near  the  Connecticut 
line,  and  flows  into  Long  Island  Sound.  It  is  a  river  in  name  only,  and 
one  only  needs  to  look  upon  the  narrow  and  shallow  stream  to  appreciate 
the  humor  of  the  command  sent  by  the  British  authorities  to  Lord  Admiral 
Howe,  to  "send  a  couple  of  frigates  up  the  Bronx  River  to  protect  our 
forces  and  fire  into  the  enemy  whenever  seen/' 

The  river  as  we  see  it  in  the  Park  is  a  picturesque  stream  flowing  between 
rocky  dells  and  through  peaceful  reaches,  and  presenting  many  charming 
bits  of  scenery.  It  was  resorted  to  by  artists  and  pictured  on  many  a 
canvas  long  before  the  conversion  of  the  territory  into  a  park  revealed  its 
loveliness  to  the  public  eye.  As  with  other  recently  acquired  parks  which 
have  absorbed  private  estates,  Bronx  Pari:  retains  relics  of  a  former 
occupancy.  On  the  river  slope  in  one  of  the  most  charming  glens  is  the 
Lorillard  mansion,  which  was  built  about  1855  by  Pierre  Lorillard.  and  is 
now  used  for  park  and  police  purposes.  On  the  opposite  side  of  the  stream 
below  the  bridge  is  the  site  of  the  old  Lorillard  snuff  mill,  whose  wheels 
turned  by  the  Bronx  waterpower  ground  out  in  snuff  the  Lorillard  fortune. 
Appropriately  enough,  the  Botanical  Garden  gardeners  now  grow  near 
the  old  mill  specimens  of  the  several  varieties  of  tobacco.  An  interesting 
natural  feature  of  the  Park  is  the  Rocking  Stone.  This  is  a  granite 
boulder  deposited  in  the  glacial  epoch,  and  poised  so  perfectly  upon  a 
granite  pedestal  that  the  human  arm  may  cause  it  to  rock  in  an  arc  of 
about  2  inches.  The  stone  is  7  feet  high.  10  feet  broad  and  8  feet  through, 
having  an  estimated  weight  of  30  tons.  It  is  in  the  Zoological  Park.  Of 
the  662  acres  comprised  in  the  Park  area.  250  have  been  given  to  a  botanical 
garden,  and  261  to  a  zoological  park.  Both  institutions  are  corporations, 
managed  by  trustees  and  occupying  their  sites  by  an  arrangement  with 
the  city. 

The  New  York  Botanical  Garden,  in  Bronx  Park,  near  the  Bedford 
Park  Station  of  the  Harlem  Railroad,  is  open  daily.  Sunday  included, 
from  9  to  5 ;  the  Museum  from  9  130  to  5.  Admission  is  free.  The  Museum 
contains  collections  of  Economic  Botany,  showing  vegetable  products, 
processes  of  manufacture  and  uses  to  which  nut,  as  various  fibres,  wood

made  into  paper,  sugar  cane  into  refined  sugar,  chocolate,  cork,  cottonseed 
wines,  cereals,  turpentine,  etc.  The  collections  of  Scientific  Botany  include 
the  famous  Torrey  Herbarium  deposited  by  Columbia  University  and  valued 
at  $175  000.  The  conservatories  contain  tens  of  thousands  of  growing 
plants,  shrubs  and  trees,  gathered  from  all  quarters  of  the  globe,  many 
rare  and  costly,  such  as  the  palms  given  by  Miss  Helen  Gould  and  the 
wonderfully  great  anthurium  given  by  Mrs.  F.  L.  Ames,  of  North  Easton, 
Mass.  The  outdoor  beds  and  plantations  show  many  family  groups  of 
plants,  flowers,  shrubs  and  trees ;  and  there  are  miles  of  walks  with  flower 
borders.  In  value  and  completeness  the  Garden  will  rival  the  Kew 
Gardens  of  London  and  the  Jardin  des  Plantes  of  Paris. 

The  New  York  Zoological  Park  has  an  ideal  site  in  Bronx  Park,  and  is 
in  plan  and  extent  unequalled  by  any  institution  of  its  class  in  the  world. 
The  outdoor  ranges  for  mammals,  the  reptile  house  and  the  vast  flying 
cage  for  birds  have  been  prepared  with  a  view  to  approximating  as  closely 
as  possible  the  natural  conditions  of  life  of  the  occupants,  and  the  very 
successful  way  in  which  this  has  been  accomplished  enables  us  to  see  the 
animals  as  they  are  in  nature.  The  Society's  Official  Guide  may  be  pro- 
cured at  the  entrance.    There  is  a  restaurant  on  the  grounds. 


Uan  gortlandt  Park. 

• 

Van  Cortlandt  Park,  at  the  extreme  north  end  of  the  city,  comprises 
in  its  diversified  area  a  high  ridge  which  carries  the  Croton  aqueduct,  a 
wide  level  plain  which  is  a  parade  ground  of  the  National  Guard,  and  a 
lake  resorted  to  in  winter  by  skaters  and  players  of  the  Scotch  game  of 
curling ;  then  there  are  golf  links,  ball  grounds,  and,  as  the  chief  thing  of 
interest,  the  Van  Cortlandt  Mansion.  The  house  is  an  interesting  example 
of  Dutch  architecture.  It  was  built  by  Frederick  Van  Cortlandt  in  1748; 
and  the  thick  rubble  stone  walls  are  as  solid  to-day  as  a  century  and  a 
half  ago.  Near  by  is  the  old  saw  and  grist  mill.  A  row  of  horse  chestnuts 
is  reputed  to  be  175  years  old.  In  1896  the  house  was  given  by  the  Park 
Commission  into  the  custody  of  the  Colonial  Dames  of  the  State  of  New 
York,  by  whom  it  is  maintained  as  a  public  museum.  It  is  open  daily.  10  to 
6  in  summer.  10  to  5  in  winter ;  2  to  6  on  Sunday.  Admission  25  cents  on 
Thursdays ;  on  other  days  free.  The  interior  has  an  old-fashioned  air.  but 
it  tells  all  through  the  story  of  substantial  means  and  <renprou<;  1-V:n~ 
There  are  huge  fireplaces  faced  with  scriptural  tiles,  deep  window  seats,  a 
generous  wine  closet  in  the  wall,  a  big  Dutch  oven  in  the  kitchen,  and  a 
cellar  with  massive  hand-hewn  beams  of  cedar  and  cypress,  and  3-foot  walls 
loop-holed  for  muskets.  Washington  made  his  headquarters  here  on  his 
way  to  the  entry  of  New  York  in  1783,  and  the  Washington  Room  is  now 
the  museum,  containing  many  Colonial  and  Revolutionary  mementoes, 
among  them  the  four-post  bedstead  on  which  Washington  slept.  Al- 
together, the  Van  Cortlandt  House  is  the  best  relic  New  York  has  of  the 
old  regime,  and  it  is  a  charming  place  to  visit. 


Cbe  Subway 


Manhattan  Island  is  long  and  narrow,  with  the  business  district  in  I 

the  lower  parts  of  the  city  and  the  homes  in  the  upper  part.  This  presents! 
a  most  difficult  transportation  problem.  Morning  and  evening  the  human  I 
flood  sets  south  and  north,  and  the  surface  and  elevated  lines  are  con-l 
gested.  The  solution  of  the  problem  is  to  provide  underground  rapid! 
transit  systems.  Plans  for  the  first  underground  road  were  adopted  in] 
1899,  and  the  contract  for  building  was  awarded  to  John  B.  McDonald,] 
on  his  bid  of  $35,000,000,  reputed  to  be  the  largest  individual  contract  ever! 
let.  The  city  paid  this  sum  for  the  construction,  and  leased  the  road  to! 
the  contractor  for  fifty  years,  under  an  arrangement  by  which  at  thej 
expiration  of  that  term  the  city  will  have  received  back  the  money  paid! 
for  the  road,  and  may  then  take  over  the  equipment  at  a  price  fixed  by  J 
arbitration.  The  work  of  construction  was  begun  in  1900,  and  the  roadj 
was  in  operation  in  1904. 

The  Rapid  Transit  Railroad  extends  from  the  Battery  north  to  Spuytenl 
Duyvil  Creek  on  the  west,  and  Bronx  Park  on  the  east.  Ultimately,  byj 
connection  with  the  Manhattan-Brooklyn  Tunnel  the  rapid  transit  system! 
will  extend  from  Brooklyn  to  the  Bronx.  Beginning  at  the  Battery  the! 
road  follows  Broadway  to  Park  Row,  thence  up  Park  Row,  with  a  loopj 
in  City  Hall  Park;  Lafayette  Street  (Elm  Street),  Fourth  Avenue,  Park!

lue  to  Sherman's  Creek,  Ellwood  Avenue  to  Inwood  Street,  and  Broad- 
way to  230th  Street,  Kingsbridge.  At  104th  Street  the  East  Side  Line 
diverges  to  Lenox  Avenue  at  110th  Street,  then  runs  up  Lenox  Avenue, 
under  the  Harlem  River,  and  through  149th  Street,  Westchester  Avenue, 
Southern  Boulevard  and  Boston  Road  to  Bronx  Park. 

The  Subway  is  rectangular,  being  25  feet  wide  for  the  two-track  sections, 
50  feet  wide  for  the  four-track  sections,  and  13  feet  high  throughout.  It 
has  a  concrete  bed  and  a  steel  frame  construction,  as  shown  in  the  illus- 
tration on  page  125.  Throughout  most  of  the  length  the  road  was  exca- 
vated from  the  surface.  A  trench  was  dug,  the  bottom  was  lined  with  a 
concrete  flooring;  then  a  rectangular  framework  of  steel  beams  was 
erected,  with  concrete  walls  and  roof;  and  on  the  outside  were  spread 
ilayers  of  asphalt  and  roofing  felt.  The  Subway  is  thus  for  the  most  part 
|a  covered  trench  with  the  roof  near  the  surface,  and  the  stairs  leading 
ito  the  station  platforms  do  not  have  longer  flights  than  those  of  the 
lelevated  roads.  On  Broadway,  from  Sixtieth  to  104th  Streets,  the  Sub- 
way is  lighted  by  skylights  in  the  center  of  the  street.  The  tunneling  is 
(principally  in  the  section  under  Central  Park  (at  Columbus  Avenue  and 
[104th  Street  80  feet  below  the  surface),  and  in  the  Fort  Washington  sec- 
tion, where  the  rock  tunnel  through  the  hill  of  gneiss  along  Broadway 
•  and  Eleventh  Avenue,  from  158th  Street  to  a  point  near  Fort  George,  is 
itwo  miles  long,  being  next  to  the  Hoosac  Tunnel  the  longest  one  in  the 
United  States.  At  125th  Street  the  West  Side  Line  emerges  and  crosses 
Manhattan  Valley  on  a  viaduct  to  135th  Street,  where  it  enters  a  tunnel, 
and  at  190th  Street  is  more  than  100  feet  below  the  surface.  At  169th  and

181st  Streets  the  stations  are  hollowed  out  of  the  solid  rock  no  feet  under- 
ground, and  are  reached  by  elevators.  The  tracks  are  carried  under  the 
Harlem  River  on  two  steel  cylinder  tubes  encased  in  concrete. 

The  motive  power  is  electricity  (third-rail  system).  The  running  time 
from  City  Hall  Park  to  Ninety-sixth  Street  is  13  minutes  for  express 
trains,  and  21  minutes  for  local  trains. 

With  a  total  length  of  21  miles,  New  York's  $35,000,000  tunnel  is  the 
longest  railroad  tunnel  in  the  world.  Its  construction  was  one  of  the 
great  engineering  enterprises  of  the  twentieth  century.  The  figures  of  the 
excavation  and  the  construction  are  prodigious.  There  were  3,212,000 
cubic  yards  of  material  to  be  taken  out — 1,900,000  of  earth  and  1,312,000 
of  rock.  The  construction  called  for  65,000  tons  of  steel,  8.000  tons  of 
cast  iron,  551,000  cubic  yards  of  concrete,  910,000  square  yards  of  water- 
proofing for  making  the  Subway  absolutely  dry. 

The  largest  stations  are  those  at  Brooklyn  Bridge,  Union  Square  at 
Fourteenth  Street,  and  I02d  Street.  The  stations  are  lined  with  tile,  and  a 
system  of  distinctive  architecture  and  color  schemes  has  been  employed, 
so  that  a  station  may  be  known  by  its  own  particular  wall  colors. 

At  Thirty-fourth  Street  and  Park  Avenue  is  one  of  the  most  remarkable 
street  intersection  corners  in  the  world.  On  the  surface  run  the  Thirty- 
fourth  Street  cars.  One  flight  down  are  the  Madison  Avenue  cars ;  two 
flights  down  the  Rapid  Transit  Subway;  and  three  flights  down  the  Penn- 
sylvania Railroad  Tunnel. 


tunnels  and  terminals. 

Manhattan— Brool  ly  n. 

1.  The  Manhattan-Brooklyn  Tunnel  is  an  extension  of  the  Rapid 
'ransit  Railroad  subway  system  under  the  East  River  to  the  foot  of 
oralemon  street;  thence  to  Fulton  street  and  Flatbush  avenue  and  to 
he  junction  of  Flatbush  and  Atlantic  avenues,  where  is  the  station  of  the 
,ong  Island  Railroad.  The  tunnel  was  opened  in  January,  1908,  to  the 
borough  Hall  station.  Under  the  river  the  construction  consists  of  two 
ast-iron  tubes,  inside  diameter  15  feet  6  inches,  length  6,790  feet.  Trains 
ass  to  Brooklyn  through  the  south  tube  and  return  through  the  north 
ube.  The  grade  is  3.1  per  100  feet,  the  descent  and  ascent  of  the  train 
eing  scarcely  perceptible.  The  tunnel  is  everywhere  below  water  level, 
intil  it  rises  at  a  point  700  feet  before  reaching  the  Borough  Hall  station, 
t  passes  through  rock  (two  stretches  of  2.700  feet  and  400  feet)  and 
and,  clay  and  gravel  formations.  The  lowest  point  reached  by  the 
unnel  is  94  feet  below  mean  high  water.  Certain  portions  which  pass 
lirough  sand  are  given  added  strength  by  concrete  piles  sunk  to  bedrock, 
t  depths  varying  from  5  to  75  feet.  The  motive  power  is  electricity,  by 
he  third-rail  system.  The  tunnel  was  constructed  by  the  builders  of  the 
tapid  Transit  Railroad,  whose  bid  for  the  tunnel  and  terminals  was 
;3,ooo,ooo.  The  actual  cost  exceeded  $10,000,000.  The  tunnel  will  be 
»perated  by  the  constructing  company  for  a  term  of  thirty-five  years, 
vhen  it  is  to  revert  to  the  city,  under  conditions  similar  to  those  which 
ontrol  in  the  Rapid  Transit  Railroad  contract. 

New  York — New  Jersey. 

2.  The  McAdoo  Tunnels  under  the  North  River.  There  are  two  pairs 
>f  these  connected  by  the  Jersey  City  subway,  the  Morton  street  tubes 

0  15th  street,  Jersey  City,  and  the  Cortlandt  street  tubes  to  Montgomery 
treet,  Jersey  City,  The  Morton  street  line  extends  under  Greenwich 
md  Christopher  streets  to  Sixth  avenue,  and  under  the  avenue  to  the 
erminal  at  33d  street  and  Sixth  avenue.  There  are  stations  at  Christo- 
ilier  and  Greenwich  streets,  where  connection  is  made  with  the  Ninth 
V venue  Elevated ;  Christopher  street  and  Sixth  avenue,  with  connection 
vith  the  Sixth  Avenue  Elevated;  and  at  Fourteenth,  Nineteenth,  Twenty- 
hird,  Twenty-eighth  and  Thirty-third  streets. 

The  Cortlandt  street  tubes  have  their  outlet  in  the  vast  Terminal 
Buildings  on  Church  street,  extending  from  Cortlandt  to  Fulton;  and 
here  is  connection  also  with  the  Subway  at  Fulton  street. 

In  Jersey  City  the  center  of  the  system  is  the  terminal  station,  hewn 
mt  of  the  solid  rock,  85  feet  below  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  train  shed, 
md  reached  from  the  Pennsylvania  terminal  by  elevators.  Two  branches 
extend  west,  rising  to  the  surface,  for  electric  cars  from  Manhattan  to 
Newark  and  other  New  Jersey  points ;  and  two  other  lines  run  north  to 
he  Lackawanna  station;  and  connection  is  afforded  also  with  the  Erie 
Railroad. 

The  tunnels  are  tubes  constructed  of  steel  rings  overlaid  with  con- 
'rete.  In  each  tunnel  there  is  a  separate  tube  for  each  track;  ventilation 

1  secured  by  the  action  of  the  train  which  forces  the  air  ahead  of  it. 
rhe  tubes  are  15  feet  in  interior  diameter.    They  lie  about  30  feet  apart

The   Queensboro  Bridge. 

The  Blackwell's  Island  Bridge  extends  across  the  East  River  frori 
East  Fifty-ninth  street,  in  the  Borough  of  Manhattan,  to  Ravenswood,  i' 
the  Borough  of  Queens,  and  is  supported  by  two  piers  rising  fron 
Blackwell's  Island.  In  weight  and  carrying  capacity  it  is  the  greates 
cantilever  -bridge  in  the  world.  The  length  of  the  bridge  proper  is  3,72.

The  carrying  capacity  is  enormous.  There  are  two  floors,  the  lower  on' 
86  feet  wide  between  railings,  the  upper  one  67  feet.  The  lower  floo 
carries  a  roadway  56  feet  wide  for  street  and  vehicular  traffic,  and  havin; 
two  trolley  tracks ;  and  two  other  trolley  tracks  are  carried  on  extension 
of  the  floor  beams.  On  the  upper  floor  is  provision  for  four  elevate' 
tracks  and  two  13-foot  sidewalks.  The  sustaining  strength  of  the  bridg 
has  been  calculated  for  the  upbearing  of  250  rapid  transit  cars  carryin; 
30,000  passengers,  300  trolley  cars  with  30,000  passengers,  a  congeste 
traffic  on  the  promenades  of  55,000  persons,  and  on  the  roadway  0 
100,000 — a  total  of  215,000.  The  bridge  was  designed  by  Gustav  Linden 
1  hal.    Its  cost  was  $20,000,000. 


the  (Uorld  Dome. 


The  Pulitzer  (or  World)  Building  affords  from  the  lantern  of  the 
dome  the  best  downtown  view  accessible  by  the  public.  The  building  itself 
is  notable.  It  has  twenty-two  stories  and  an  extreme  height  of  375^2  feet. 
The  pressroom  in  the  basement  is  open  to  visitors.  The  presses  have  a 
capacity  for  printing,  folding  and  counting  672,000  eight-page  papers 
per  hour. 

The  tower  is  open  from  8:30  A.  M.  to  6  P.  M.  An  admission  fee  of 
5  cents  goes  to  a  charitable  fund.  The  view  is  one  long  to  be  remem- 
bered. In  the  East  are  the  Brooklyn  Bridge,  East  River,  Brooklyn  and 
the  hills  of  Long  Island.  The  Navy  Yard  (north  of  the  Bridge)  may  be 
distinguished  by  the  receiving  ship,  which  looks  like  a  huge  yellow  Noah's 
'Ark.  Beyond,  stretching  its  mighty  span  across  the  East  River,  is  the 
new  bridge;  between  its  towers  is  seen  one  of  the  Sugar  Trust's  re- 
fineries. To  the  right  of  the  Brooklyn  Bridge  the  tower  on  the  horizon 
is  the  Brooklyn  waterworks;  to  its  right,  are  the  wooded  heights  of 
Prospect  Park,  and  further  to  the  right,  Greenwood  Cemetery.  In  that 
direction  lies  the  ocean. 

South  is  Governor's  Island  with  the  circular  Castle  Williams  fronting 
the  Bay.  In  the  distance  beyond  the  island  are  the  Narrows,  the  opening 
between  Long  Island  and  Staten  Island,  through  which  New  York's  com- 
merce passes  to  the  Lower  Bay  on  its  way  to  sea.  The  high  land  to  the 
right  of  the  Narrows  is  Staten  Island.  The  Statue  of  Liberty  is  hidden 
from  view  by  the  Park  Row  Building. 

West  is  the  North  or  Hudson  River,  with  New  Jersey  beyond,  Jersey 
City  in  the  foreground  and  the  Orange  Mountains  in  the  distance.  The 
huge  depot  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  is  a  conspicuous  landmark.  North 
of  Jersey  City  are  Hoboken,  Weehawken  and  the  Palisades  of  the  Hudson. 

North,  stretching  away  as  far  as  the  eye  can  reach,  the  city  lies  spread 
put  in  a  confused  and  bewildering  expanse  of  street  chasms,  walls,  roofs, 
chimneys,  towers  and  steeples.  We  may  note  some  of  the  landmarks :  The 
immense  building  with  the  clock-tower  is  the  New  York  Life ;  to  the  right 
of  its  tower  is  the  Mills  Hotel;  the  gilded  dome  with  the  flag  is  Siegel- 
Cooper's;  in  line  with  the  east  end  of  the  New  York  Life  is  the  red  pile 
of  the  Waldorf-Astoria;  beyond  and  to  the  right  of  this  rise  the  white 
spires  of  St.  Patrick's  Cathedral.  This  side  of  the  New  York  Life  the 
highest  buildings  are  the  Central  Bank,  the  Dun  (white  marble  with 
rounded  corners)  and  the  Broadway  Chambers,  with  the  lions'  heads  under 
the  cornice.  Across  the  park  are  the  Home  Life  (white  with  red  peaked 
roof)  and  the  Postal  Telegraph.  The  distant  red  building  in  line  with 
the  Dun  is  the  U.  S.  Public  Stores;  on  the  heights  beyond  it  is  Wee- 
lawken.  On  the  Hoboken  heights  in  line  with  the  Broadway  Chambers 
s  the  Monastery  of  the  Passionist  Fathers. 

Immediately  below  us  on  the  north  is  the  Brooklyn  Bridge  entrance;  and 
the  elevated  railroad  winds  its  course  to  the  Bowery,  which  begins  just 
:here  at  the  curve  where  the  road  disappears  from  view.  Extending 
straight  north  is  Centre  street;  beyond  the  shot-tower  is  the  new  City

American  Tract  Society,  Times  and  Potter  buildings  and  Post  Office,  an' 
beyond  is  St.  Paul's  Chapel,  diminutive  enough  from  here.  The  Par

Greater  New  York  comprises  the  five  Boroughs  of  Manhattan,  Brona 
Brooklyn,  Queens  and  Richmond.  The  Borough  of  Manhattan  include 
Manhattan  Island  and  Governor's,  Ellis,  Bedloe's,  Blackwell's,  Ward's 
Randall's  and  Riker  islands.  The  Borough  of  the  Bronx  comprises  all  tha 
portion  between  the  Harlem  and  Long  Island  Sound.  The  Borough  o 
Brooklyn  includes  all  of  Kings  county.  The  Borough  of  Queens  include 
all  the  annexed  district  lying  in  Queens  county.  The  Borough  of  Rich! 
mond  includes  all  of  Staten  Island. 

The  population  by  the  census  of  1900  was,  for  the  several  Boroughs' 
Manhattan — 1.850,093.  Bronx — 200,507.  Brooklyn — 1,166,582.  Queens- 
152.999.    Richmond — 67,021.   Total — 3.437.202. 

By  Federal  Census  estimate  of  1906  the  population  was  4.1 13.043,  a 
increase  over  1900  of  675,841.  Estimated  population  1908,  in  excess  0 
4,250,000. 

The  Bowery  extends  from  Chatham  Square  north  to  Cooper  Unioi 
where  Third  and  Fourth  avenues  diverge.  In  the  old  Dutch  days  it  was  th 
Bouwerie  Lane  between  the  bouweries  or  farms;  and  later  it  became  th 
Boston  Post  Road ;  a  mile-stone  at  Rivington  street  still  marks  one  mil 
from  the  old  City  Hall  in  Wall  street.  Almost  as  remote  as  the  Dutc 
farmers  who  gave  it  its  name  are  the  Bowery  Boys,  who  fifty  years  ag 
made  the  street  famous.  The  peculiar  features  of  the  old  Bowery  live  onl 
in  tradition ;  but  it  still  has  characteristics  all  its  own.  There  is  presente 
here  an  extraordinary  collection  of  beer  saloons,  concert  gardens,  tram 
lodging  houses,  shooting  galleries,  low  whisky  "dives,"  dime  museum 
penny  amusement  arcades,  tattooing  establishments,  Yiddish  theatres  an 
more  beer  saloons ;  while  sandwiched  in  between  the  saloons  and  the  lodgin 
houses  are  numerous  shops,  whose  proprietors  are  hopefully  striving  t 
live  down  the  refrain  of  the  popular  song — 

The  Bow'ry!  the  Bow'ry! 
They  say  such  things,  and  they  do  strange  things, 

On  the  Bow'ry,  the  Bow'ry! 
I'll  never  go  there  any  more. 

But  this  is  only  one  aspect  of  the  street.  There  are  multitudes  wit) 
whom  the  Bowery  means  thrift,  for  in  the  Bowery  Saving  Bank,  witt 
its  more  than  125,000  depositors  and  over  $67,000,000  of  deposits,  we  hav 
the  largest  savings  bank  in  the  world. 

A  ride  through  the  Bowery  on  a  Third  avenue  surface  car  (from  8t 
street  or  above,  or  from  the  Post  Office)  will  disclose  its  features  suflj 
ciently  for  most  people.  It  may  also  be  reached  by  the  Third  avent 
elevated  (stations  at  Chatham  Square,  Canal,  Grand  and  Houston  streets' 
and  by  the  Fourth  and  Second  avenue  cars  passing  through  part  of  1

Bible  House)  they  will  give  you  a  circular  containing  a  specimen  text  in 
each  of  the  242  different  languages  and  dialects,  in  which  66,000,000  copies 
of  the  Bible  circulated  by  the  Society  have  been  printed. 

Three  blocks  below  Grace  Church,  east  of  Broadway,  is  a  group  of 
interesting  points.  In  Clinton  Place  and  Astor  Place  is  the  Mercantile  Li- 
brary, on  the  site  of  the  old  Astor  Place  Opera  House,  where  the  Astor 
Place  Riot  occurred  in  1848,  when  a  mob,  incensed  by  the  treatment  which 
Forrest  had  received  in  England,  mobbed  the  English  actor  Macready,  who 
was  doing  his  best  on  that  particular  occasion  to  act  Macbeth.  East  of  the 
Library  is  the  statue  of  S.  S.  Cox,  erected  by  the  mail  carriers  in  recognition 
of  his  championship  of  their  interests  in  Congress.  In  Lafayette  Place, 
opening  to  the  south,  is  the  Astor  Library,  with  its  350,000  books,  now  a 
part  of  the  New  York  Public  Library,  Astor,  Lenox  and  Tilden  Founda- 
tions.   The  library  is  open  from  9  to  6  daily  except  Sundays  and  holidays. 

Cooper  Union,  for  the  Advancement  of  Science  and  Art,  was  founded 
by  Peter  Cooper  in  1859.  He  gave  for  the  building  and  its  endowment 
nearly  a  million  dollars.  The  purpose  is  to  provide  instruction  at  night 
for  young  people  who  work  by  day ;  and  in  doing  this  the  Union  has 
been  one  of  the  most  beneficent  philanthropies  of  the  city.  The  night 
schools  in  science  and  art — mathematics,  engineering,  electricity,  chemistry, 
etc. — have  been  attended  by  nearly  100.000  different  persons.  Recent  gifts 
by  Andrew  Carnegie,  Edward  Cooper  and  A.  S.  Hewitt  have  now  made 

|  provision  for  day  instruction  also.    There  are  a  Women's  Art  School,  for 

,  instruction  in  drawing,  painting  and  photography,  and  schools  in  telegraphy, 
stenography  and  typewriting  for  women.    The  free  library  and  reading 

,  room  (with  435  newspapers  and  periodicals)  is  visited  by  an  average  of 
2.000  readers  a  day;  it  is  open  from  8  A.  M.  to  10  P.  M. ;  and  Sundays, 
October  to  May.  12  to  9.    The  Museum  for  the  Decorative  Arts  is  open  9 

.  to  5  daily  except  Sunday  and  Monday.  Free  lectures  in  the  Hall,  on 
Wednesday  and  Saturday  evenings  in  winter,  are  attended  by  10.000  persons 
a  week.  The  Hall  of  Cooper  Union  is  used  for  political  and  other  meetings, 
and  has  been  the  scene  of  many  memorable  gatherings.  Abraham  Lincoln 
delivered  his  Cooper  Institute  speech  here  Feb.  27,  i860,  and  from  that 
day  to  this  most  of  the  great  orators  of  America  have  been  heard  here;  and 
speeches  have  been  made  which  have  affected  city,  state  and  nation.  In 

:  Cooper  Union  Park,  south  of  the  building,  is  a  statue  of  Peter  Cooper,  hy 
Augustus  St.  Gaudens,  who  was  a  pupil  in  Cooper  Union : 

Erected  by  the  citizens  of  New  York  in  grateful  remembrance  of  Peter  Cooper,

St.  Mark's  Church,  at  10th  street  and  2d  avenue,  has  interesting 
historical  associations,  for  it  occupies  the  oldest  church  site  on  Manhattan 
Island.  It  replaced  in  T799  the  Bouwerie  Church  built  by  Peter  Stuyvesant. 
the  last  of  the  Dutch  Governors,  on.  his  Great  Bouwerie.  or  farm,  which 
extended  from  the  line  of  4th  avenue  to  the  East  River.  A  bit  of  the  old 
farm  now  bears  the  name  of  Stuyvesant  Square.  Stuyvesant  was  buried  \v 
the  churchyard  in  1672.  in  the  vault  which  is  still  marked  by  the  memo'-i;ii 
stone  with  its  inscription. 

In  this  vault  lies  buried  Petrus  Stuyvesant,  late  Captain  General  and  Governor- 
in-Chief  of  Amsterdam  in  New  Netherland,  now  called  New  York,  and  the  Dutch 
West  India  Islands,  died  in  A.  D.  167%,  aged  80  years.

"The  Little  Church  Around  the  Corner"  is  a  familiar  name  for  the 
Church  of  the  Transfiguration,  on  East  29th  street,  near  Fifth  avenue. 
The  story  goes  that  when  in  1871  Joseph  Jefferson  endeavored  to  arrange 
for  the  funeral  of  George  Holland,  a  brother  actor,  at  a  church  on 
Madison  avenue,  the  pastor  said  that  he  could  not  hold  burial  services] 
over  the  body  of  an  actor.  "But,"  he  added,  "there  is  a  little  church 
around  the  corner  you  can  go  to."  "Then  all  honor  to  the  little  church 
around  the  corner,"  replied  Jefferson.  "We  will  go  there."  From  that 
time  the  church  and  its  rector,  Rev.  George  H.  Houghton  (who  died 
in  1897)  were  held  in  affectionate  regard  by  the  theatrical  profession. 
Many  actors  have  been  buried  from  the  church,  among  them  Lester 
Wallack,  Dion  Boucicault  and  Edwin  Booth.  There  is  a  memorial  window 
given  by  The  Players  (the  actors'  club),  in  loving  memory  of  Booth. 
The  beautiful  churchyard  is  entered  through  a  lich-gate.  This  is  a  roofed 
gate,  unique  in  this  country,  but  of  a  type  formerly  common  in  Europe, 
when  the  custom  was  to  rest  the  bier  in  the  lich-gate  during  the  reading 
of  the  introductory  part  of  the  burial  service. 

John  Street  Methodist  Church. — The  John  Street  M.  E.  Church,  at 
44  John  street,  called  the  "Cradle  of  American  Methodism,"  is  the  oldest 
Methodist  church  in  America.  It  was  founded  by  Philip  Embury  in  1766; 
the  first  edifice  was  erected  in  1768,  a  second  one  on  the  same  site  in  1817, 
and  the  present  structure  in  1841.  There  are  still  preserved  Philip 
Embury's  Bible,  Bishop  Asbury's  chair  and  the  clock  which  John  Wesley 
sent  over  from  England,  and  which  still  ticks  off  the  time. 

The  American  Society  of  Mechanical  Engineers. — The  national  or- 
ganization of  the  mechanical  engineering  profession  was  founded  in  1880 
with  the  object  of  promoting  the  arts  and  sciences  connected  with  en- 
gineering and  mechanical  construction.  Its  society  rooms  occupy  the 
eleventh  floor  of  the  Engineering  Societies  Building,  at  29  West  Thirty- 
ninth  street,  New  York,  it  being  one  of  the  three  Founder  Societies  to 
whom  the  Carnegie  gift  for  the  erection  of  the  building  was  made. 
Monthly  meetings  are  held  in  the  building  for  the  presentation  and 
discussion  of  professional  papers.  The  annual  and  spring  meetings  are 
the  two  large  conventions  of  the  year.  The  former  is  held  in  New  York 
in  December  and  the  latter  at  some  inland  city,  usually  in  May.  There 
are  3,335  members.  The  publications  of  the  society  are  Proceedings, 
issued  monthly,  and  the  Transactions,  the  annual  bound  volume.  The 
library  of  more  than  ten  thousand  volumes  on  engineering,  together  with 
the  libraries  of  other  Founder  Societies,  make  one  of  the  most  com- 
plete libraries  of  engineering  literature  in  the  world.  Open  to  the  public 
from  9  A.  M.  to  9  P.  M.,  except  Sundays  and  holidays.

Hispanic  Society. 

The  library  and  museum  of  the  Hispanic  Society  of  America  is  in 
Audubon  Park,  156th  street  near  Broadway.  "The  library,  art  collection 
and  historical  objects  were  gathered  by  Archer  M.  Huntington,  son  of  the 
late  Collis  P.  Huntington,  who  endowed  the  Hispanic  Society  and  gave 
lie  land  upon  which  the  museum  stands.  The  society's  purpose  is  to 
make  the  library  and  museum  useful  to  students  and  literary  men.  The 
[society  was  founded  by  Mr.  Huntington  for  the  purpose  of  bringing  the 
people  of  the  United  States  who  are  interested  in  Spanish  history,  art 
and  literature  into  closer  relations  with  the  Spanish  and  Portuguese 
people  and  those  of  the  same  blood  in  South  America.  Mr.  Huntington 
spent  more  than  eighteen  years  making  the  collections,  and  they  are  the 
largest  of  their  kind  in  this  country  and  among  the  most  important  in 
the  world.    The  institution  is  open  to  the  public. 

"Among  the  objects  in  the  museum  interesting  to  students  of  Hispanic 
subjects  is  a  pair  of  bronze  Arabic  doors,  which  flank  the  main  entrance. 
These  doors,  which  came  from  a  Cairo  mosque,  were  built  by  a  Mameluke 
general  in  1381.  The  museum  contains  examples  of  pottery  dating  from 
the  fifth  century  before  Christ  to  the  present  time,  and  also  includes 
silver,  medals,  coins  and  textiles,  besides  some  sixteenth  century  carvings 
in  wood,  marble  and  ironwork.  Spanish  America  is  also  historically  and 
artistically  represented.  There  are  more  than  fifty  thousand  volumes  in 
the  library,  on  ancient  and  modern  Spanish  and  Portuguese  subjects. 

"The  Hispanic  Society  of  America  has  a  membership  of  one  hundred. 
It  is  an  endowed  society,  its  members  paying  no  dues.  Its  membership 
is  scattered  all  over  the  world,  where  they  are  constantly  on  the  lookout 
for  some  available  addition  to  the  library  or  museum."

Brooklyn 


The  points  here  named  are  reached  most  conveniently  from  the  Brook- 
lyn Bridge.  The  officers  at  the  Bridge  entrance  will  direct  to  the  proper 
car. 

Greenwood  Cemetery  is  reached  by  the  Fifth  avenue  elevated  or  surface 
line  from  the  Bridge.  Carriages  at  the  entrance  make  the  tour  of  the 
grounds  in  three-quarters  of  an  hour  for  a  fare  of  25  cents,  with  stop-over 
privilege.  The  cemetery,  one  of  the  most  beautiful  in  the  world,  has  an 
area  of  474  acres,  stretching  along  a  slope  whose  summit  it  has  crowned 
with  monuments.  From  the  Pilots'  Monument  to  Thomas  Freeborn,  a 
New  York  pilot  who  lost  his  life  piloting  a  ship  on  the  New  Jersey  coast, 
we  may  look  far  out  to  sea;  and  the  shaft  is  visible  from  ships  entering 
the  harbor.  From  the  Soldiers'  Monument,  in  memory  of  the  148,000 
soldiers  of  New  York  State  who  died  in  the  Civil  War,  another  far-reach- 
ing prospect  may  be  had.  One  may  wander  for  hours  through  the  streets 
of  this  vast  city  of  the  dead  (there  are  fifteen  miles  of  walks)  and  at  every 
turn  find  something  to  challenge  attention.  The  most  famous  memorial 
is  the  exquisitely  carved  monument  of  Charlotte  Canda,  a  New  York  girl 
who,  on  her  eighteenth  birthday,  as  she  was  returning  from  a  party  given 
in  her  honor,  was  thrown  from  her  carriage  and  killed.  This  monument 
that  marks  her  grave  she  herself  had  designed  for  an  aunt.  The  most  costly 
piece  of  work  is  the  $225,000  monument  of  Marcus  Daly.  Among  hundreds 
of  others  may  be  noted  the  tomb  of  James  Gordon  Bennett,  remarkable  for 
the  silken  sheen  of  the  sculptured  drapery;  the  portrait  bust  of  Horace 
Greeley,  cast  from  type  metal  given  by  the  printers  of  America ;  the  bronze 
statue  of  De  Witt  Clinton ;  the  stone  from  the  Brooklyn  Bridge  mark- 
ing the  grave  of  Wm.  C.  Kingsley,  a  former  president  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees;  the  medallion  angel  face  carved  by  Hiram  Powers,  the  Griffith 
"Farewell"  memorial,  the  figure  of  "Grief"  of  the  John  Matthews  tomb, 
the  Channey  monument  cut  by  prisoners  in  Sing  Sing.  We  shall  find 
here  many  familiar  names — Morse  of  the  telegraph,  Howe  of  the  sewing 
machine,  Peter  Cooper,  Henry  Ward  Beecher,  Henry  George,  Alice  and 
Phoebe  Cary.  Those  who  sleep  in  Greenwood  number  more  than  312.000, 
and  the  solemn  bell  in  the  tower  of  the  Gothic  gate  tolls  through  the 
hours  of  the  day  at  the  entering  in  of  others  to  join  the  silent  hosts. 

Prospect  Park. — From  the  Bridge  the  Flatbush  avenue  cars  take  one 
directly  to  the  Plaza,  which  is  the  principal  gate.  Here  is  the  Soldiers' 
and  Sailors'  Memorial  Arch,  to  commemorate  those  who  died  in  the  Civil 
War;  the  bronze  groups  by  Macmonnies  symbolize  the  Army,  the  Navy, 
and  the  chariot  of  Victory  led  by  heralds  of  peace.  South  of  the  Plaza  is 
the  statue  of  Gen.  Warren.  From  the  top  of  the  Brooklyn  water  reservoir 
a  view  may  be  had  extending  from  the  Long  Island  coast  in  the  east  beyond 
Manhattan  to  the  New  Jersey  hills  in  the  west;  the  tower  is  a  noted  land- 
mark. From  the  Plaza  entrance  carriages  make  the  tour  of  the  Park  for  a 
fare  of  25  cents.  In  natural  grandeur  Prospect  rivals  Central  Park:  it  is 
well  named,  for  its  hills  command  many  a  lovely  prospect;  particularly 
famous  are  those  from  Lookout  Hill.  The  Park  has  extensive  groves  of  forest 
trees,  a  lake  of  sixty-one  acres,  with  winding  arms,  arched  bridges  and

irharming  shores,  and  there  are  flower  gardens  and  conservatories.  A 
nonument  on  the  slope  of  Prospect  Hill  marks  Battle  Pass,  where  fell  450 
Maryland  soldiers,  defending  the  American  retreat  after  the  battle  of  Long 
Island.  The  Park  has  memorials  of  John  Howard  Payne,  author  of 
'Home,  Sweet  Home";  Irving,  Lincoln,  Moore,  Mozart,  and  James  S.  T. 
5tranahan,  an  honored  citizen  to  whom,  more  than  to  any  other  person. 
Brooklyn  owes  its  beautiful  pleasure  ground. 

From  the  southeast  corner  of  Prospect  Park  the  Ocean  Parkway,  a 
nagnificent  boulevard,  with  driveway,  speedway  and  shaded  cycle  paths 
ind  bridle  paths,  extends  $l/2  miles  to  Coney  Island.  A  short  distance 
lortheast  from  the  Plaza  entrance  is  the  Museum  of  the  Brooklyn  Institute, 
in  which  are  collections  illustrating  natural  history  and  ethnology.  An 
admission  of  25  cents  is  charged  Monday  and  Tuesday;  other  days  free. 

The  Brooklyn  Navy  Yard  is  visited  by  pass,  which  is  given  on  applica- 
tion at  the  entrance.  The  Navy  Yard  is  reached  by  Flushing  avenue  car 
from  the  Bridge.  The  shipbuilding  shops,  dry  docks,  warships,  guns,  naval 
trophies,  curiosities  in  the  Lyceum,  and  the  varied  activities  of  the  chief 
naval  station  of  the  United  States,  furnish  abundant  interest.  The  Navy 
Yard  is  on  Wallabout  Bay,  where  thousands  of  Americans  perished  in  the 
British  prison-ships  of  the  Revolution.  In  Fort  Greene  Park,  near  by,  the 
tomb  of  a  number  of  the  prison-ship  martyrs  is  marked  with  a  sculptured 
memorial  by  Macmonnies.  a  marble  censer,  emblematic  of  a  perpetual 
incense  offering. 

The  Pratt  Institute,  the  school  of  science  and  industrial  art  founded 
by  Charles  Pratt  (who  gave  for  it  nearly  $4,000,000)  is  in  Ryerson  street, 
near  De  Kalb  avenue.    Visiting  days  are  Monday,  Wednesday  and  Friday. 

Partridge's  equestrian  statue  of  Grant  stands  in  front  of  the  Union 
League  Club,  Bedford  avenue  and  Bergen  street.  It  represents  the  General 
as  he  appeared  at  the  Battle  of  the  Wilderness.  Ward's  statue  of  Henry 
Ward  Beecher  stands  in  the  plaza  facing  the  City  Hall  on  Fulton  Street. 
Plymouth  Church,  which  was  Beecher's  pulpit  from  1847  to  1887,  is  on 
Orange  street,  between  Hicks  and  Henry,  within  short  walking  distance 
from  the  Bridge. 

Staten  Island,  lying  south  of  New  York  Bay,  five  miles  distant  from 
Manhattan  Island,  constitutes  the  Borough  of  Richmond  in  Greater  New 
York.  The  island  has  an  area  of  sixty  square  miles.  Its  green  slopes  and 
wooded  hills  form  a  pleasing  feature  in  the  harbor  views;  and  the  fortified 
height  of  Fort  Wadsworth.  commanding  the  Narrows,  is  the  first  land 
closely  approached  by  incoming  vessels  irom  sea.  An  excursion  to  Staten 
Island  by  ferryboat  from  the  Battery  gives  a  good  opportunity  of  seeing 
New  York  Bay.  A  conspicuous  landmark  on  the  island  is  the  dome  of  the 
church  of  Sailors'Snug  Harbor.  The  Harbor  was  founded  in  1801  as  a  home 
for  unfortunate  and  disabled  seamen  by  Robert  Richard  Randall,  whc 
bequeathed  for  the  purpose  his  farm  in  New  York.  (See  page  81.)  There 
are  on  the  rolls  to-day  900  inmates.  Among  the  sixty  buildings  of  the 
Harbor,  the  church  is  specially  worthy  of  inspection  for  the  fine  marbles  of 
the  interior.   There  is  in  the  grounds  a  statue  of  Randall  by  St.  Gaudens. 

The  tall  chimney  seen  to  the  northwest  of  Staten  Island  is  in  Bayonne. 
N.  J.,  and  carries  off  the  fumes  of  the  great  copper  smelting  works  there 
It  is  365  feet  high,  and  is  reputed  to  be  the  tallest  chimney  in  the  world.

Cbe  Pennsylvania  Railroad  terminal. 


The  Pennsylvania  Railroad  plan  contemplates  a  series  of  through  tunnel.- 
from  Jersey  City  under  the  North  River,  Manhattan  and  the  East  Rivet 
to  Brooklyn.  This  will  connect  the  Pennsylvania  and  the  Long  Island 
railroads.  There  will  be  a  great  central  station  in  Manhattan.  Becau-" 
of  the  novelty  of  the  engineering  devices  employed,  the  magnitude  of  thi 
work,  and  the  revolutionizing  effect  upon  passenger  traffic  to  and  from  the 
Metropolis,  this  Pennsylvania  connection  is  an  undertaking  second  in  im- 
portance only  to  the  Rapid  Transit  Railroad.  "It  will  practically  make 
Manhattan  continental  instead  of  insular."  The  tunnel-tube  invention  by 
which  the  difficulties  of  tunneling  the  Hudson  have  been  overcome  has 
excited  the  interest  of  the  engineering  world.  The  bed  of  the  Hudsors 
consists  of  soft  mud  and  clay,  of  an  oozy  consistency  to  a  great  depth,  and 
unsuited  to  tunnel  work.  An  entirely  new  principle  therefore  has  been 
adopted.  Stone  piers  will  be  built  resting  upon  the  solid  rock  beneath  the 
river  bed.  The  piers  will  support  a  bridge,  which  will  be  inclosed  in  an 
18-foot  water-tight  steel  tube;  and  will  carry  the  railroad  track  within  tht 
tube.  The  bed  of  the  tracks  in  mid-stream  will  be  100  feet  below  the  river 
bed.  There  will  be  six  of  the  tubes ;  they  will  enter  Manhattan  in  pairs,  at 
31st,  32d  and  33d  streets,  and  the  tunnel  extensions  to  the  East  River  will 
cross  the  city  under  the  lines  of  these  streets.  In  passing  under  Man- 
hattan the  tunnel  will  be  nowhere  less  than  19  feet  below  the  surface.  Tht 
East  River  tunnels  will  present  no  difficulties,  for  the  river  bottom  is  of 
solid  rock.  On  the  Jersey  side  the  tunnel  tracks  will  diverge  from  the 
present  line  of  the  Pennsylvania  at  a  point  on  the  Hackensack  meadows 
east  of  Newark.    Electric  locomotives  will  be  used. 

The  terminal  station  will  be  gigantic  in  dimensions ;  and  the  officials 
promise  that  it  will  be  an  architectural  achievement.  It  will  occupy  a 
plot  1,500  feet  in  length  by  520  in  width;  covering  the  four  blocks  bounded 
by  31st  and  33d  streets,  and  Seventh  and  Ninth  avenues — a  site  acquired 
for  the  purpose  at  a  cost  of  $8,000,000.  It  will  have  twenty-five  tracks  and 
more  than  two  miles  of  platforms.  The  station  will  be  modeled  upon  the 
Quai  d'Orsay  station  in  Paris,  which  is  a  part  of  the  railroad  system 
which  tunnels  the  Seine,  but  the  New  York  station  will  be  double  the  size 
of  the  Paris  one.  A  bridge  will  extend  over  the  tracks  from  31st  to  33d 
streets,  with  stairways  leading  down  to  the  tracks.  The  baggage  will  be 
handled  by  endless  belts,  and  the  equipment  throughout  will  be  of  the  very 
latest  appliances.  The  work  of  construction  will  take  three  years ;  the  cost, 
including  terminals,  will  be  under  $50,0000,000.  The  payments  to  the  City 
of  New  York,  as  provided  by  the  franchise,  will  aggregate  nearly  $2,500,000 
for  the  first  twenty-five  years,  exclusive  of  the  31st  Street  route;  with  that 
route,  if  built,  $50,000  additional.  The  amounts  to  be  paid  will  be  adjusted 
every  twenty-five  years. 

These  through  tunnels  of  the  Pennsylvania  with  the  Long  Island  Rail 
road  connection  may  bring  to  an  early  realization  the  project  of  a  great 
trans-Atlantic  steamship  terminal  at  Montauk  Point;  and  on  the  other 
hand  the  Pennsylvania's  adoption  of  the  tunnel  plan  for  access  to  New 
York  will  defer  indefinitely  the  building  of  the  long  talked  of  Hudson 
River  Bridge.

STREET  DIRECTORY. 

All  numbered  East  Side  streets  from  E.  8th  to  E.  142d  begin  at  5th  Av.  and  run  l  . 
East  River.  Beginning  with  E.  11th  St.,  one  hundred  numbers  are  used  on  each 
block  between  the  avenues  (Madison  and  Lexington  avenues  not  considered).  The 
location  of  any  given  number  is  thus  definitely  indicated. 

All  numbered  West  Side  streets  from  \Y.  10th  to  \V.  144th  begin  at  5th  av.  (ex- 
cept those  from  59th  to  109th,  which  begin  at  Central  Park  \V.)  and  run  to  North  or 
Hudson  River,  the  same  principle  of  numbering  being  used. 

All  odd  numbers  are  on  the  north  side  of  the  street,  the  even  nu  mbers  on  the  south 
side. 

Cross  street  numbers  begin  at  5th  av.  and  progress,  100  to  the  block,  as  here:

been  our  constant  endeavor  to  offer  the  most  attractive  and  varied  itineraries — planned  with  the 
greatest  care  and  successfully  conducted  as  a  result  of  our  extensive  experience. 

Throughout  the  year  we  have  scheduled  a  large  number  of  cruises  and  trips  lasting  from 
one  week  to  three  months  or  more,  meeting  every  possible  demand  and  suiting  every  purse.

The  HOLY  LAND,  The  ADRIATIC,  EGYPT  and  The  NILE, 
The  WEST  INDIES,  VENEZUELA,  PANAMA  CANAL,

During  the  summer  months  cruises  to 

NORWAY,  The  NORTH  CAPE,  SPITZBERGEN,  ICELAND, 
and  to  SEASIDE    RESORTS  of    NORTHERN  EURC^E.

Situated  upon  the  main  line  of  the  Lackawanna,  within  two  and  one-half  hours'  ride  of  New  York, 
is  the  Delaware  Water  Gap — one  of  the  scenic  marvels  of  this  country.  This  famous  notch  through 
which  the  River  flows  fairly  abounds  with  possibilities  for  sport,  comfort  and  recreation. 

A  short  distance  beyond  lies  the  Pocono  Mountains  with  their  altitude  of  2,000  feet  above  the 
sea.  Here  is  the  healthful  air  of  the  forest  and  mountain  combined  with  every  form  of  sport.  The 
nights  register  from  ten  to  fifteen  degrees  cooler  than  New  York. 

The  accessibility  of  these  resorts  furnishes  a  happy  solution  of  the  vacation  problem  to  the  busy 
New  Yorker.  During  the  hot  summer  months,  week  end  specials  leave  the  City  for  these  points  at 
the  close  of  business  hours.  The  whole  region  is  dotted  over  with  modest  hotels  and  charming

Just  the  ideal  distance 
from  all  that's  going 
on— without  the  noise 


In  this  modem  Babylon  there  are  more  hotels 
and  more  different  kinds  of  hotels  than  in  any 
city  on  earth. 

In  the  great  throbbing  "down-town"  district  it 
is  largely  a  question  of  price. 

There  are  a  great  many  people  who  want  the 
gaiety  and  life  attendent  upon  such  surroundings. 

There  are  a  great  many  other  visitors  to  New 
York  who  have  often  wished  for  a  place  where 
they  could  go  for  a  day,  a  week  or  a  month  and 
find  modern  equipment,  a  perfect  service,  and  at 
the  same  time,  enjoy  quiet  and  rest,  and  have,  in 
addition  to  congenial  surroundings,  the  comforts 
of  "home." 

We  offer  (in  the  most  exclusive  residential 
districts),  for  transient  patronage  by  the  day, 
week  or  month,  one  room,  two  rooms,  suites  of 
any  size,  with  maid  service,  private  bath,  etc., 
etc.,  in  short,  modern  hotel  service  and  equipment 
at  prices  that  seem  "almost  too  good  to  be  true." 

We  have  at  your  command  a  thorough  organiza- 
tion, in  the  hands  of  a  trained  and  capable 
management. 

It's  our  pleasure  to  serve  you.

THE  PRINCESS  ISSENA,  Seabreeze,  Fla. 

A FINE  new  stone  and 
frame  structure  situ- 
ated in  the  midst  of 
five  acres  of  natural  park, 
three  hundred  and  seventy 
five  feet  fronting  on  Ocean 
Boulevard,  and  five  min- 
utes' walk  to  the  Atlantic 
Beach  on  the  east  or  to  the 
Halifax  River  on  the  west. 

Having  had  some  years' 
experience  with  the  travel- 
ing public,  the  managers 
perceived  that  a  house  con- 
ducted as  nearly  as  pos- 
sible like  an  elegant  private 
home  would  be  welcome  to 
a  large  percentage  of  Florida 
tourists  ;  and  they  are  en- 
deavoring to  establish  the 
Princess  Issena  on  this  rather  new  basis.  While  there  are  all  the  appointments  of  the  thoroughly 
modern  and  first-class  hotel,  still  home  features  are  preserved,  not  only  pertaining  to  the  table,  but 
in  a  pleasing  departure  from  usual  hotel  interior  arrangement  of  living  rooms,  chambers,  halls,  etc. 

The  bedrooms  are  large,  airy  and  well  lighted,  having  from  two  to  four  windows  each;  many  sunny 
exposures;  en  suite  or  single;  stationary  wash  stands,  with  hot  and  cold  water  in  every  room ;  general  and 
private  baths  ;  steam  heat;  electric  lights ;  call  bells;  telephone  in  office;  no  really  small  or  undesirable 
rooms;  good  beds  ;  all  furnishings  fresh,  clean  and  sanitary. 

A  principal  feature  is  to  make  the  table  as  much  as  possible  like  a  home  table,  though  the  dining  room 
service  is  of  the  usual  first-class  hotel  kind,  and  the  kitchen  is  under  the  management  of  a  competent  chef ; 
home-made  breads,  cake  and  pastry  ;  home-prepared  jellies,  preserves,  marmalades,  etc.;  pure  milk  from  oui 
own  cows  ;  pure,  healthful  water  from  artesian  well. 

For  board  and  rooms,  $3.00  per  day  and  up.    Special  rates  by  the  month  or  season.  Address
